And he analysises each one well. But it is that putting in of his personal opinions that don't work. I do recommend it though and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I give it 9/10 for the good he does in it.<br /> Are the covers you have with the girls on white backgrounds? They are fantastic covers! I'm quite shocked at Fleming! He was a real prick, as you say Goldfinger is homopohpic. But he was also deeply sexist, misogynist, anti-American cars and food wise, well anti everything/one not British, racist, anti-Black, etc, etc, etc. The books are an encloypeadia of hate! <br /> I've just finished The Spy Who Loved Me and it is misogynist beyond belief. He virtually plays out his own private rape fantasies and it is rather dis-tasteful. At one stage Bond shags the girl and she says 'All woman like semi-rape'!!!!! I couldn't believe it but that is Fleming all over.<br /> The novels have dated terribly,and are of inconsistent quality, but still worth reading. I can't get over how much the film and novel Bond differ so much.BRENThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953231992674091002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361829068869115622.post-71730450630995654412011-08-08T03:56:30.089-07:002011-08-08T03:56:30.089-07:00I think I'll approach this cautiously. It'...I think I'll approach this cautiously. It's always frustrating when an author can't choose between an objective well-researched presentation of the facts and an opinion-based analysis of the films. It might have been better if he'd split the book into two sections - one dealing with the facts and charting the global phenomenon of the Bond franchise and the other analysing the series film by film.<br /><br />I'll be enthusiastically checking out your reviews of the original Fleming novels. They were reissued in the UK as a highly collectible series of hardbacks a few years ago, with new (but pleasingly retro) cover art. I bought the lot (spending more than Mrs F would have liked!) - I got up to 'Goldfinger' which, while a cracking story, is very homophobic. I know that the books were written in a different era and attitudes weren't as reconstructed back then, but 'Goldfinger' stuck in my craw a little bit with Fleming's constant belittling of "sissies" and "ponces".<br /><br />Still, I need to set some time aside to read the rest of them - I think there's six or seven more in the series. Look forward to comparing notes as you post the remaining reviews of the books.Neil Fulwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14686296295535235988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361829068869115622.post-58117094821514453332011-08-05T18:15:46.410-07:002011-08-05T18:15:46.410-07:00It is!!
