A review by elee2013
Diamonds are Forever by Ian Fleming
3.0
3.5/5
It’s impossible to deny that Fleming had prodigious talent. His ability to describe a person, a place, in just a brief couple of phrases but still conveying the essence is really impressive. This book is 200 pages of action and characters and settings, all brilliantly sketched.
Bond takes on a US gang in this one, helped along by the damaged Tiffany Case. Diamonds, horse racing, Las Vegas and a cruise ship are all in this; I love how action packed these are. I was glad to see Felix back in action (as was Bond) and I don’t regret deciding to read through this series. Will keep on keeping on.
