Product Description

From AudioFile

Five short stories find James Bond facing danger from a variety of sources, all of which he escapes through fast thinking and even faster action. The suave, cultured British accent of Rintoul captures both the sophistication and complexity of Bond's personality, in addition to defining his nationality. His dramatizations convey the moods, nuances and personal traits of all the characters, whether they're Canadian, American, Italian or British. By softening his voice, changing his pace and mellowing his vocal tones, Rintoul realistically performs female voices, as well. Rintoul's expert performance enlivens the story and helps guarantee that Fleming's writings will remain popular with listeners. P.A.J. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

5.0 out of 5 stars All Fives Are Ones, Mar 11 2004

By	gobirds2 (New England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: For Your Eyes Only (Paperback)

"For Your Eyes Only" is a collection of five James Bond short stories. I like this book because once again it demonstrates Ian Fleming's skill and style as a writer. Some of the stories are very engrossing while others are just brief vignettes into the world that James Bond operates and thrives in. Fleming's collection of words are just so interesting that I found this book difficult to put down. I return to this book often as I do with as I do with several others by Fleming. The cover of this edition is quite provocative and nostalgic.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sampler of Bonded Fleming., Feb 13 2004

By	Robert S. Clay Jr. (St. Louis, MO., USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: For Your Eyes Only (Paperback)

This collection of five James Bond stories is a slight effort. For fans of Ian Fleming, this is an interlude in the major novels. For the uninitiated, this is an opportunity to sample Fleming's fiction in its pristine state, before tampering by over-the-top filmmakers. The typical traits of the Bond/Fleming cycle are present. The James Bond created by Ian Fleming is an iron fist in a velvet glove. A no-nonsense guy who is good to have on your side. Fleming blends the hard-boiled edginess of Dashiell Hammett with the sophistication of Dorothy Sayers. Snobbery is evident. Bond is a lone wolf, and prefers it that way. The writing assumes a working knowledge of French and Italian. This can confuse some readers, especially Americans, in descriptions of food, liquor, etc. Three of the five stories are straightforward Cold War era espionage stories of murder, revenge, and betrayal. This includes "A View to a Kill," "For Your Eyes Only," and "Risico." The irascible M is present, most especially in the title tale. Bonds comes off best in these three stories. "Quantum of Solace" is an odd piece that could have been written by John O'Hara. It shows Ian Fleming flexing his literary muscles. "The Hildebrand Rarity" is a story of vengeance and murder, but it has nothing to do with Cold War spies. These stories originally appeared in such varied publications as "Playboy" and "Cosmopolitan." Read and enjoy. Good down time reading. ;-)

5.0 out of 5 stars a great book of short stories, Dec 5 2003

By	The Rectifier (Harrisburg, PA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: For Your Eyes Only (Paperback)

I have always loved writing short stories better than a full length novel, but don't often enjoy reading them as much. Perhaps because I'm so familiar with Fleming's Bond, I really enjoyed some of these stories and didn't need all the filler.

Anyone who has enjoyed a Bond novel should like at least a couple of the stories in this collection. I especially like the moral dilemma Bond finds himself in while being a predator near the end of The Hildebrand Rarity.
