I know they've taken a critical savaging over the years, but for a young man coming of age, they were just the thing. They fueled many fantasies about women, being a spy able to fight, shoot, and generally handle himself, just the sort of thing a young male longed to be. But of course probably never would to that degree. It's been many years since I read one of the Fleming books and I'm sure they wouldn't hold up to a more sophisticated reading palette these days. But, you know, I don't care. I'd probably still love them.Randy Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16627907086811387527noreply@blogger.com
