4.0 out of 5 stars Better if you read Fleming first, February 9, 2010

This review is from: Secret Servant (Paperback)

This novel and it's prequel should contain spoiler warnings, because they reveal significant plot details from Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels. If you haven't read Fleming's ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE (or at least seen the film, which is very faithful to the book) I strongly suggest you do so before reading Kate Westbrook's THE MONEYPENNY DIARIES (UK title: THE MONEYPENNY DIARIES: GUARDIAN ANGEL), which picks up immediately from the end of OHMSS.

Then it's essential that you read YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, and then THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN (the films of these two titles bear no resemblance at all to Fleming's books) before proceeding to THE MONEYPENNY DIARIES (VOLUME 2): SECRET SERVANT. Because of their overlapping timelines, reading Fleming and Westbrook in the order that I've outlined will give you a much greater understanding of, and appreciation for, the MONEYPENNY DIARIES.
