Books read in 2018: No. 9 -- On Her Majesty's Secret Service

by Ian Fleming

Started: Jan. 30
Finished: Feb. 5

Notes: A recent Bond book left a bad taste in my mouth, but because I'd read Fleming before and enjoyed his work, I thought I'd give him another shot at winning me over again.

Mini review: Bond is sent into the Swiss Alps in search of an old foe and finds a new plot hatching. I did enjoy this one more than the last Bond novel I read, but not enough to want me to read more Fleming any time soon. This must be the saddest ending ever for a Bond novel, I would think, and one that hits home for the protagonist more than most of his other adventures.
