Review
Probably the most forceful and driving writer of thrillers in England Raymond Chandler
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Book Description
Meet Tiffany Case, a cold, gorgeous, devil-may-care blonde; the kind of girl you could get into a lot of trouble with - if you wanted. She stands between James Bond and the leaders of a diamond-smuggling ring that stretches from Africa to the States via London. Bond uses her to infiltrate this gang, but once in America the hunter becomes the hunted. Bond is in real danger until help comes from an unlikely quarter, the ice-maiden herself.

Much Better Than the Movie!,
By
This review is from: Diamonds Are Forever (Paperback)
I have read many of Ian Fleming's 007 novels, most of them many years ago. In the past I had no interest in reading this novel due to the fact that I disliked the movie. That was a very big mistake on my part. The novel bears little resemblance to the movie. I'm glad that I finally gave it a chance. I really should have known better, as many of the movies don't resemble the books at all.Although this is not Mr. Fleming's best James Bond story, it is still very entertaining, especially if you are in the mood for an enjoyable trip back to the 1950's with 007 in his prime. All of the necessary elements are there. Ian Fleming wrote all of the series with lots of class and style, and Diamonds are Forever is no exception. Although there are some hokey bits here and there, the plot is good, and the storytelling is, as always, excellent. It left me thirsty for bourbon and branch water, and more 007. I think that if EON Productions looks into remaking some of the classic Fleming stories in the modern era, like they did with Casino Royale, Diamonds are Forever would be a prime candidate. I think that with a few small changes here and there, this story could lend itself well to the 21st century. Overall enjoyable, even if not Fleming's, or 007's best outing.

This review is from: Modern Classics Diamonds Are Forever (Paperback)
Ian Fleming outdoes himself again! This 007 novel is most definately worth the read. I found it as interesting as wanting it to be one of my re-reads.
