Product Description

Auric Goldfinger: cruel, clever, frustratingly careful, is a cheat at Canasta and a crook on a massive scale in everyday life. The sort of man James Bond hates. So it's fortunate that Bond is the man charged by both the Bank of England and MI5 to discover what this, the richest man in the country intends to do with his ill-gotten gains - and what his connection is with SMERSH, the feared Soviet spy-killing corps. But once inside this deadly criminal's organization, 007 finds that Goldfinger's schemes are more grandiose - and lethal - than anyone could have imagined. Not only is he planning the greatest gold robbery in history, but mass murder as well...

3.0 out of 5 stars See the movie, read the book!, Jul 1 2009

By	Pol Sixe "hpolvi" (Thornhill, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

The 007 movies have taken over as the definitive James Bond portrayals but it is useful to read the original Ian Fleming versions. In this case the story is an entertaining and suspenseful spy thriller. Fleming's Bond is a reflective, interesting man. The technology is late-fifties realistic, there is the real world travelogue (you can Googlemap the routes taken) and the bad guy, Goldfinger, is an imaginative creation. Golfers will love the shot by shot narrative of the big match play. So far so good. Negatives to some may be the imbedded racial and sexual stereotyping, Fleming or just the way it was? and how often Goldfinger knocks out Bond only to talk and talk afterwards and have our hero wiggle out, "queer the pitch" once again. Oh and Sean Connery WAS about as good a James Bond as Ian Fleming could have hoped for.
