Live and Let Die by Ian Fleming
4.0

Fleming finds the Bond formula in this volume. Here we see the starts of who Bond becomes through out the series. In the first book, Bond almost seems passive, and you wonder if he's even going to complete the mission.

Mr. Big definitely is the classic Bond Villain as there are several occasions where Bond is before him and you think this is it Bond is done for, and somehow he survives. There's the classic "Master Plan" that of course Bond foils by the end and the Bond Girl shows up that Bond must save.

I now feel the need to watch the movie and see how close and how different it is from the pages of the book.
