Ratings and reviews

I am unable to judge the book, since the free sample redirects me to the purchase page on Play Books with 4 pages still remaining in the sample. And would someone please be a bit fairer with book samples? All I was able to read was acknowledgements and the contents. I got none of the story, and without first reading some of it in the sample - On Her Majesty's Secret Service let me read almost the whole first chapter, so why should this be any different? - I will not pay for any book, even a Bond book. Sort it out, Google.

Almost done with all the books... wish he had written a few more

Ok

About the author

Ian Lancaster Fleming was born in London in 1908. His first job was at Reuters news agency after which he worked briefly as a stockbroker before working in Naval Intelligence during the Second World War. His first novel, Casino Royale, was published in 1953 and was an instant success. Fleming went on to write thirteen other Bond books as well as two works of non-fiction and the children’s classic Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The Bond books have sold over sixty million copies and earned praise from figures such as Raymond Chandler who called Fleming ‘the most forceful and driving writer of thrillers in England’ and President Kennedy who named From Russia with Love as one of his favourite books. The books inspired a hugely successful series of film adaptations which began in 1962 with the release of Dr No, starring Sean Connery as 007. Fleming was married to Anne Rothermere with whom he had a son, Caspar. He died in 1964. www.ianfleming.com
