I had gotten it for my hubby a few years back and he was actually a little bored with it. I wonder if he would have felt differently about it had he read it after the Craig movies came out. It seems to line up much better with them.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128730358349082407.post-42839047300643558742016-01-23T10:26:46.295-06:002016-01-23T10:26:46.295-06:00I will admit to not being a Bond fan.

I think the first movie I saw had Roger Moore as Bond, but who can resist Sean Connery and then I also liked Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig is wonderful. Sigh.
