this is a holy underwhelming story. That is, unless you are looking for racist and misogynist text. I get the era it was written in is very different, but wow the use of language is crazy. It's also pretty fun, in the sense that being the second book bond is still figuring out when he's supposed to be doing, and he's not the season veteran that most of us are going to be expecting. There are a lot of Pratt falls and misdirections, with a good nature WTF moment here and there.
