Review: Diamonds Are Forever


Diamonds Are Forever
Diamonds Are Forever by Ian Fleming

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Well, as par for the course, I skipped a lot of chapters. Nothing major I can assure but still many. I swear there is no need for such quantity of detailed nonsense. Seriously. I do not need to know everything. I do not not need to know who founded which casino in Vegas, for example. Or what those decrepit ladies look like when they're gambling their money away. Super snore. I don't care. I've always focused more on the action scenes and I swear they're the only thing that keeps me going 'till the end of each book. In fact I always seem to find myself a little disappointed when said ending comes due to all that filling I have to go through first. I mean, all of that snail paced antecipation and then just a couple of shots and it's over? WTH? And Bond is getting on my nerves "falling in love" with every single woman he meets. Flirting is fine. Sleeping with them is fine. Talking about love every single time and then hook up with another woman in the next book? Not fine.
