Devil May Care by Sebastian Faulks writing as Ian Fleming.
The first James Bond book written by Sebastian Faulks.
This is again one of my selections. I thought Matthew would enjoy this book as it follows a similar theme to the previous books. Secret agents seems to be a recurring theme in our reading. This was a much hyped return for James Bond with Sebastian Faulks writing in the style of Ian Flemming. I did get the sense of the era and the time it is set in. I did at times feel though as I imagined the pictures that I was watching a 1970's movie. The story was good and the plot also was believable (for a James Bond book) However it was nothing special and in some ways I felt disappointed. It was not the quality of the writing or the plot but somehow we had already been here before and there was nothing new, no new insight into this larger than life character. I give this a 7/10

This book was quite interesting and it kept me wanting to read it even though I was unable to. It was about 007 who goes to a factory in Asia to find out if the British plane that was flying nearby is there and if they are the people who are stealing drugs into England and France. He has met this women called Scarlett and they set out to infiltrate the base but they are apprehended by a small army of men. They realise that it is the place of a secret plot is to plant drugs into England and France to make more money for themselves and throw the countries into mayhem. I enjoyed this book as i liked the style of writing but I would have much rather have read a Chronicles of Darkness book. I am giving it 7/10.
