Running on fond memories of watching the Bond films in my childhood, I was recently inspired to pick this up. I wish I hadn't bothered. See, it wasn't the I didn't expect the sexism and the racism...ok I probably didn't expect the homophobia...but I didn't expect it to be so blatant! I expected useless women who's only function to the plot was to fall into Bond's arms or die, to be honest I'm used to it. I didn't expect a diatribe blaming homosexuality on women getting the vote. I didn't expect a character to die because she was lesbian. Admitedly, once a lesbian showed up I expected that Bond would cure her of this affliction with the power of his ALMIGHTY PENIS but, still, I can be annoyed that I was right and it did. Not to mention the child abuse thrown in to explain lesbianism. And, of course, the blatant racism. I'd expected that we wouldn't have any possitive characters who weren't white, but still, the out and out, blatantly stated racism was just too much for me.

I wouldn't recomend this to anyone and won't read it again. If James Bond is a real man that I think Pussy Glaore was better sticking with women.
