lovelifeandbeyond 's review for:

Live and Let Die by Ian Fleming
3.0

Although the action is all there, especially towards the end, I found this particular book to be racist. He doesn't just use the N word liberally, but the descriptions of them are less flattering. It dampened the experience for me. Although this book was written in an era where language and thoughts like these was the norm, it still doesn't make it acceptable.

Moreover, I prefer the latest series of Bond movies to the books. One, they're more action-packed, and two, they're less sexist and not racist.
