Short Review: another weakly plotted sexist, racist pulp fiction novel. This is the third Bond novel I have read. And while From Russia With Love is far better than the cartoonish Goldfinger there is just not much to it. The girl sent to seduce Bond falls for him. Bond blindly turns down help from M. He without checking assumes the bad guy was sent to help him. He is not a great spy but rather bumbling and lucky. I have one more Bond novel that I have already picked up. But if that isn't good I am done with Ian Fleming.
