Well, I can now officially say I've read a James Bond. It was much, much more dated than I thought it would be, and every time I spotted a trope that's been used in derivative/inspired novels I couldn't help but think that those tropes have been used much better by more recent authors. I appreciate it's impact, but that's pretty much it.
