A review by elctrc
Doctor No by Ian Fleming

2.0

I'm sure I should have began my foray into Fleming from a different spot, but as it stands, I may not bother. The racism is so intense. I was prepared for the sexism (it's Bond, afterall), but the racism is incredible and in-your-face. And it's not as seen through the eyes of the characters in the story -- it's obvious that Fleming has a true hatred for blacks, Chinese, and anything in-between.

The story itself was better than I expected -- although the ending is anti-climactic at best. It was a fun read when I wasn't cringing. I quickly turned this one over to the kiddo to tear apart at his leisure...
