    Typical Bond story, enjoyable and well written.
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2023*

Enjoyed this book. It had a few more twists than some of the other stories and I found it more difficult to predict what was next. Overall a good read, as expected with Mr. Fleming's works.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars

Book vs Movie Review – Dr. No (James Bond) – Ian FlemingI started reading the famous author Ian Fleming’s James Bond series out of curiosity to see why they made them into movies. I’m only reading the books made into movies starring my favorite James Bond, Sean Connery. I’ll also read “Casino Royale” because Daniel Craig is my second favorite Bond to Connery. In reading these novels, I was expecting pulp fiction-like reads but was surprised how good the writing is - Ian Fleming was ahead of his time. Although Dr. No is the sixth James Bond novel written by Fleming, it was the first Bond movie filmed. The film crossed the line between simple spy thriller to ‘Super Spy’ film with a larger-than-life character in James Bond. On screen, Dr. No was the first introduction of the Bond series to the world. But, in the book, for the first time Bond faces a super villain, a mad scientist on his hidden high-tech hideaway – a private island somewhere near Jamaica. There are death traps, elaborate trials by the evil doctor, beautiful women, and all manner of things that have become part of the James Bond culture. It is little wonder that when they decided to make a Bond film, that Dr. No is where they opted to begin. Without any account to build on, there’s none of that context in the movie. But surprisingly, the movie and the book are remarkably similar. Both find Bond in Jamaica to find out what happened to MI6’s local man, Strangways. And in both cases Bond eventually works his way to Crab Key Island, where he finds himself in the middle of a diabolical scheme put together by the villainous Dr. No. However, there are some differences as there always is when a book is adapted into a film. Many times, books outdo the movie adaptations, but this time around, the Dr. No film actually outdoes the book. I still liked the book, but the whole Audubon Society / endangered bird and ‘guano’ (the excrement of seabirds and bats used as fertilizer) business was overly complicated. The movie manages to streamline Dr. No’s plot to make it easier to follow. And the final showdown is more exciting when Bond and Dr. No get to have a face off instead of just dumping a ton of bird excrement on Dr. No from afar. While both are great entertainments, the movie has the edge here. Bottom line, the book was terrific fun and a complete thrill ride, but the movie – the first film I ever saw at a movie theater is the reason I’m an avid James Bond fan to this day.

    it’s James Bond
  

*by I***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2024*

I read all the Bond books in the 1960s. Recently I read the story of Ian Fleming’s life. Started reading the series again as I read his life story as there are references in the Bond series to his life story . The series is better the second time around.
