Interesting Title but Little More,
By gobirds2 (New England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Role of Honor (Paperback)
Coming on the heels of "Icebreaker" this ranks as a major disappointment from John Gardner. The plot and prose is a collection of disjointed and very uninspiring ideas for our hero James Bond. However, several of these ideas did seem to make it to the screen shortly after in some of Roger Moore's later Bond films and Timothy Dalton's first outing. "Role of Honor" ultimately has a rambling plot that leaves the reader totally disinterested. I was very disappointed with this novel.

oh my yes,
By A Customer
This review is from: Role of Honor (Hardcover)
Role of Honor could have been better if there were less plot-holes and there was more frequent action. The biggest plot-hole is this: why is James Bond attacked in the streets? The attack is never explained, and I was waiting the whole book to find out why, but there was no answer. I felt let down. Another plot-hole is: Why does the villain turn up at the casino with Bond? Hmm. The action, which is infrequent, isn't very good. All there is is a training-camp sequence which is too flimsy to enjoy and a brief fight on a blimp.

Could have been better,
By A Customer
This review is from: Role of Honor (Hardcover)
The plot in this book is lame. I don't know how else to
say it, it just needs a lot of work. In fact, this was the first
Bond book that I had to force myself to finish. It just didn't
hold me like the others
