5.0 out of 5 stars A refreshing new take on everything BOND..., May 26, 2003

FlickLover (New York USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: THE SPY WHO THRILLED US: A Guide to the Best of Cinematic James Bond (Limelight) (Paperback)

My pal (who's also a Bond fanatic) recommended I buy this book. And he was right on the money. Author DiLeo slices the thick Bond topic with a refreshingly different serrated knife. And doesn't apologize for his candid and sharp opinions regarding the series -- yet always manages to entertain and enlighten us with his abundant knowledge and love of BOND. Great book! Pick it up!

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Reading for Bond Fans, March 7, 2003

George McAdams (Alabama, USA) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: THE SPY WHO THRILLED US: A Guide to the Best of Cinematic James Bond (Limelight) (Paperback)

Di Leo's book, THE SPY WHO THRILLED US, for me, made interesting reading. Sure, there were some debatable items, but anytime I pick-up a book, and an hour later, I'm still thumbing through it, it (the book) has passed my test. I thought that his opinions were not "heavy handed," and quite frankly, I agreed with most of them. And unlike the Bond "Encyclopedias," et. al. publications, this one wasn't so dry that it put me to sleep.

If you're new to the movie series, or just like them, this will be a welcome addition to your bookshelf. It also would make a terrific present.

5.0 out of 5 stars awesome, January 28, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: THE SPY WHO THRILLED US: A Guide to the Best of Cinematic James Bond (Limelight) (Paperback)

I loved this book! Author DiLeo is obviously a Bond fanatic like me and his enthusiasm and love for 007 is evident in every word. The book features the top 5 moments in almost 50 different categories ranging from best villains to best gadgets to best stunts and everything else in between. I had a great time comparing my "top 5's" with the author's. This book must be on the shelf of any true Bond fan.

4.0 out of 5 stars A book for fans to debate
It is basically a book of DiLeo's opinions but the beauty of the book is all the fun you can have with other Bond fans comparing your opinions with his. Read more
