Product Description

From AudioFile

David Rintoul's British accent provides a heart-pounding, adrenaline-pumping rendition of Ian Fleming's classic. Rintoul's vocal depictions develop each character flawlessly. His breathless excitement is contagious. Beautiful women and Bahamian scenery are successfully created in your mind's eye. Movie comparisons to a 007 story are inevitable. However, the unabridged version allows the full development of key characters in the storyÐnot achieved in the movie. True Bond fans will look forward to more audio adventures. J.L.R. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.


Ingram

James Bond is in disgrace. His medical report is critical of the high living that is ruining his health, and M packs him off to a health farm to be tuned up to his former pitch of exceptional fitness. Bond expects a trying two weeks. The last thing he expects is an adversary more deadly, more ruthless even than SMERSH. 2 cassettes. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Interesting Novel, Oct 24 2003
By gobirds2 (New England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thunderball (Paperback)
THUNDERBALL is a very interesting Ian Fleming James Bond novel. I found the first two thirds of the novel very well written. The final third of the novel seems to lose all its steam and sinks into literary mediocrity and that's what really interests me. The first third of this novel contains some of the best prose that Fleming ever put on paper. It is rich in detail and thoroughly engrossing. It is a true delight to read and savor. As the novel enters the second the third it still remains engrossing but seems to lack some of Fleming's usual drive and coherency. The final third falls below what could even be considered commonplaceness for Fleming. Fleming seems to have just given up on this project at some point and just finished it out to get it into publication. Yet THUNDERBALL remains one of my favorite Fleming novels. The first third truly is brilliant and I enjoy reading it and examining at what point Fleming became disinterested.
