The novel is not unreadable, it is enjoyable for the Bond fans, but it is far from being one of the best in the series

This is a lovely book, not too serious and fun to read

I truly enjoyed this book and was sad it ended, I learned a few things

The pace of the graphic novel is fast, but not lightning fast, and steady. Mr. Diggle keeps it steady with skill and humor peppered throughout

I truly enjoyed Ms. Mantel’s writing, it is sharp, distinct and lively.

The story was written after the film Dr. No was released, literary 007 gotten some of cinematic Bond’s persona.

Mr. Fleming realized that after World War II, England was no longer the world power it once was and lets it all out on the page in a dialog which must have been torturous to write between Bond and the head of the Japanese Secret Service.

The lighthearted story of a bunch of rogues and misfits who did not fit in the regimented military, turns into a dark narrative as the book shifts into the European theatre and the end of World War II.

The story has many surprises and some twists which kept up my interest to the end.

The author writes about the challenges of living in the region for both Jews and Arabs, especially for young people who struggle with identity and family.
