The Spy Who Loved Me: James Bond #9 | 
This is one of the most evocative descriptions of a storm. I can practically hear the thunder and rain. In all the chatter about Bond and who's going to be the next one, people seem to forget Fleming's skill with words.

Bit late for this prompt but this is such a beautiful opening paragraph.
A strange bond book, where the narrator is a woman and Bond only appears in the 3d part :)
It's always interesting to compare the books with what movie-Bond became.
pickQuite unique among the Bond books, The Spy Who Loved Me benefits from diverting from the rest of the series with a change of formula, narrator, and placement of Bond within the story.

The first thing that came to mind was the song "Nobody Does It Better" the theme to the James Bond movie The Spy Who Loved Me. Now I can't think of anything else.
Nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby, you're the best
Can‘t wait to start these! My hubby and I have been watching the Daniel Craig Bond movies, so this retro classic was calling my name! I also have always wanted to read J.K. ‘S other stab at a novel. The last is simply a reference text for my nerdy bird-loving self. Happy reading friends!
TSWLM isn‘t my favorite Bond novel, but it‘s one of the most criminally underrated novels ever written. James Bond, driving through the country after the fallout of a previous mission, decides to stay the night because he‘s knackered from all the driving. I‘ll spare any more detail so as to not spoil it, but that‘s where the story takes off at a sprinter‘s pace. Vintage espionage prose and story, romance, brutal action, etc.

Breaking out my 'martini glass' and watching The Spy Who Loved Me tonight for a belated and overdue tribute to the late Roger Moore.
panI didn't enjoy this but I kept listening for some reason. Samantha Bond's narration was excellent, but the attitude to women really is of it's time.
Yep. Totally the same guy. (The name is Child... Lee Child)
