I am currently reading The Man With The Golden Gun as part of my James Bond reading challenge. It is not quite the worst of the James Bond novels which lies with The Spy Who Loved Me but it is not a patch on the earlier books and is basically Bond on autopilot.
I haven’t read any of the books, are they tremendously exciting?

In general they are very exciting but some of them are not as good as others. I expect that this happens in all series though.
Yeah it sure does. So, if someone were to begin, what’s your recommendation as first book?
I would start with Casino Royale at the very beginning because there is a a lot to be gained by reading them in order of publication. You don’t have to but it really adds something if you do.
Yes, I always like reading things in order if I can help it too. Thank you 🙂
No probs 🙂
