This guide is devoted to James Bond, the most famous fictional character of the 20th century. There's no one quite like 007, the secret agent whose identity is the world's worst kept secret and who is still the movie hero most men really aspire to be. The sections include: the movies - all 20 movies reviewed and rated, and all the movie Bonds put under the microscope; the books - all the novels, spin-off books, Bond's rivals and Iam Fleming, the man behind 007; the lifestyle - the girls, Q's finest inventions, the cars, the cocktails; the vintage champagnes, the locations; and the trivia.

Shocking!,

This review is from: The Rough Guide to James Bond (Paperback)
This guide has a complete listing of the books and movies up to "The World is Not Enough." It's a light and entertaining read for casual Bond fans or for people who don't know much about the older Bond movies, like myself. However, I can't imagine that hardcore Bond fans could enjoy this. Probably those fans know more about Bond than is included in this book. The listings for the books are about a page each, and for the movies rarely exceeds two pages. So if you've seen all the movies or read all the books, then I don't recommend it for you. However, if you'd like to have an introduction into the world of Bond, it's an excellent book. I thouroughly enjoyed it from cover to cover.

great read,
By "bond_jamesbond330" (Chicago) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rough Guide to James Bond (Paperback)
This is one of those books for someone who wants to know as much about James Bond as possible in just a short amount of time. It gives you just what it promises, a rough history about Bond. If you truly want to impress people with your knowledge about 007 you need to research more. But if you want to just get by in a conversation about Bond this is the book for you. So I recommend this for anyone who needs to know about the most famous secret agent out there in just 007 minutes.

I knew practically everything in this book being a 007 veteran.
I could imagine it being very useful fro people beginning the bond craze. GOOD READ.
