On Her Majesty's Secret Service by Ian Fleming

5.0

After being disappointed with Bond #10, "The Spy Who Loved Me," it was nice that Fleming came back to earth when he wrote OHMSS. Bond is certainly back with his high brow eccentricities, penchant for danger and chivalry, dry humor, and thrilling action and excitement. It was never too over the top and just the right amount of cheesy. I love Bond novels not because they're brilliant pieces of English literature, but because I'm a law student in the middle of finals and I don't have the mental capacity to read anything too deep and thoughtful rn and I'd rather read than watch Netflix and Fleming is way more entertaining anyways.
