Solo eBook æ Hardcover solo epub, Solo PDFHmmIt's not that I didn't like this book it's well plotted and the writing is perfectly competent it's that it turns out I really don't like James BondThis came as something of a shock I've always enjoyed the films especially Skyfall starring the immensely talented Daniel Craig

Solo eBook æ Hardcover solo epub, Solo PDFI think it's important to remember when a new Bond book comes out that this isn't and never will be an Ian Fleming Bond book What Faulks did with his writing as Ian Fleming was a nice gimmick for want of a better phrase but i've always felt that the continuation of the Bond franchise in book form always works best when authors put their own spin on the writing style If anything it's a little bit like a comic book series writers artists and inkers all come and

Solo eBook æ Hardcover solo epub, Solo PDFIt's 1968 and James bond turning 45 years old is sent into a dirty war in AfricaThis is not the James Bond that Fleming wrote about Rather it's boring guy having a mid life crisis The villain isn't strong enough to hold any sort of interest It's like a 1970's moral euivalence type novel
Solo eBook æ Hardcover solo epub, Solo PDFSo James Bond heads to a small war torn African republic Fair enough What’s the point in William Boyd writing a Bond novel if he doesn’t do the stuff which interests himIt’s 1969 and Bond is sent to Zanzarim a fictional country caught up in a drawn out civil war Oil has been discovered and it’s up to Bond to bring this conflict to a swift conclusion From there we have double agents triple agents psychotic South African mercenaries mistaken identity drugs torture and some good old fashioned James Bond brutality This is the tired Bond of ‘The Man with the Golden Gun’ the same version that Sebastian Faulks explored in ‘Devil May Care’ I really must read ‘Colonel Sun’ ‘Devil May Care’ and ‘Solo’ back to back one uiet fortnight just to see if there are any allusions and jokes which link them all It opens with Bond’s 45th birthday and from there it’s a late sixties spectacular – but one experience
Solo eBook æ Hardcover solo epub, Solo PDFBoyd is in many ways a natural choice to produce a new instalment in the Bond series He has written good uality spy stories of his own and also has a track record of novels set in exotic locales He doesn't disappoint here In fact this was a great deal better than I'd expectedSaying that the main problem is not so much the plot but the storytelling This isn't a thriller by any means as it lacks urgency Not uneventful but with little incident and almost no action until the halfway mark Scenes occur so we can revisit them once something happens Without a proper mission or megalomaniac to hunt the pace flagsFleming's cardinal rule borrowed from pulp fiction was keep the plot flying and they won't see the plot holes Here they appear cavernous as chapters end with little coercing you to start the next Without head to head showdowns over cardscarsgolf 007 wilts amid a conspiracy The girls and henchmen are well characterised but fail to loom largeIn fa
Solo eBook æ Hardcover solo epub, Solo PDFAs some who has never read a 007 novel or spy novels in general This was my first book that I read about the famous double agent Before that I only knew him through movies played by 6 different actors in the main role Before i share my thoughts on the bookI would like to mention that this book is set in the 60s the Connery eraWhere it’s a tactical spy story with some actions here and thereSo if you were expecting something like Brosnan or Craig 007 movies then this book is not for youThat being said what did I think about the bookPositives I thought it was a very enjoyable engaging and interesting novel to read With surprising twists and turns that you may or may not see it comingNegatives Bond did 2 things during the first 30 pages that I thought were really stupid When it’s all wrapped up there is
