JAMES BOND
“The beat thrillers have a compelling quality which I call ‘buttonholing readability.’ and of all the writers I’ve read I think lan Fleming had this quality in the highest degree. In creating this absurd character James Bond, this romantic, tough-tender secretservice agent with his luxury background, elaborate weapon training and special 007 licence to kill, Fleming provided us with much entertainment—most of it harmless. Myself, I find it impossible not to feel a good deal of affection for the monster.” —Maurice Richardson in a 8.8. C. World Service feature.
