kesterbird 's review for:
On Her Majesty's Secret Service
by Ian Fleming
I had to look up more than four kinds of vehicle, because they were used to define characters and without knowing exactly what kind of car it was, we wouldn't know who the characters were.
Also Bond is charmingly inept. The detail that he likes to COUNT his money in old francs, in order to feel rich, but pay for thing in new francs so it doesn't feel like he's spending much is just plain adorable.
The misogyny is real, and ranges from a low of introducing us to Mary by her literal measurements and the office pool on who will bang her first to a high of Tracy being cool under fire and, actually, generally more competent than Bond. So, you know, that's something, at least. But still. Mary Goodnight, 37-22-35. That's an insurmountable level of disrespect.
This is trash, but it was a lot more fun than I was expecting.
