Diamonds Are Forever by Ian Fleming
3.0
Well. I can safely say this is better than the film adaptation, but that’s a low bar.
Sadly, Diamonds Are Forever drops the ball from the heights that Moonraker brought it to, with a dull plot featuring Bond facing down mobsters. There are some solid setpieces, the car chase with Ernie is a highlight; and Tiffany Case is a solid enough Bond girl. They can’t all be fantastic, I know, and I didn’t hate my time with it, but I am a bit disappointed.
