Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)It's obvious that Mr. Benson is a huge fan of James Bond, but somewhere along the lines someone should have realized that simply being a fan doesn't qualify him to continue the James Bond legacy in print.While his non-fiction works on James Bond are fairly good, his novels, unfortunately, are not.They are simply dozens of cliches combined with references to older Bond books, all tied together with what I must simply label very poor writing.Mr. Benson's dialogue is flat, unrealistic, and occasionally ridiuclous.His characters are one-dimensional and unsympathetic.His prose is stilted and uninteresting.I really wanted to like his Bond books, but after several attempts, I realized that I had assigned myself an impossible mission.
I have read all of Fleming and Gardener's books multiple times, but nearly put Benson's books down in the middle simply from lack of interest.His stab at revitalizing the James Bond series was a worthy attempt, but unfortunately a failed one.I would recommend simply re-reading Fleming or Gardener if you have a taste for more Bond in print.
