Doctor No Audiobook

" This is a great action-packed Bond story. In this adventure, Bond is sent to Jamaica to investigate the disappearance of 2 agents and suspicious activity on nearby Crab Key. Quarrel, Bond's friend from Live and Let Die, joins him to take on Dr No, an ecentric recluse. I don't want to give away any of the story because it unfolds perfectly. If you are a fan of the Bond stories you will enjoy this one. Please note, there are some racist references that were the norm for 1957 but are offensive by today's standards. "

" Racy - uses conjunction-words such as "Chigroes" to describe Chinese-Negroes. "

" The books are a world apart from the movies and a million times better. "

" Loved listening to James Bond! Much fun. However; Hollywood is the one who named the woman Pussy Galore...hahrumph...the book had more class. :) "

" The only truly interesting part was the end, which is completely different from the movie. It was just kind of a slow read. "

" Bond first shows up in Jamaica having made all his supposedly secret arrangements through the local Governor's office, which of course is compromised and even he realizes was stupid. Then, on Dr. No's island, he holes up for the night in the one place that the bad guys would be expected to come looking for him. Then he gets away simply b/c Dr. No's particularly long and involved execution method doesn't kill him - although it works exactly as expected; Bond doesn't do much at all to help his chances (ok, he palms a butter knife and also makes a spear out of a tin bucket; I'll give him half-credit). But he actually covers his eyes everytime Honeychile drops her towel (which is frequently). Who is this guy? "

" The Hammest book in the series so far, yet still enjoyable. Still dark and sexy, but this story is less believable, and more melodrama! "

" My favourite of the series, so far. "

" Not an overall well written book. And definitely a product of it's times with the racism and sexism. But an interesting portrayal of Bond, an uncertain and thoughtful Bond "

" Audiobook while driving to madison. enjoyable, although I thought the characters were pretty thinly developed. i liked the tangents into bird ecology, etc. "

" Entertaining, but a bit far-fetched compared to Casino Royale. "

" A very enjoyable book. I like the movies and finally decided to read the books. I can see why Fleming was one of JFK's favorite authors. "

" Really fun...the James Bond of the novel is a lot more human than the slick hero of the movies. "

" Childish and chauvinistic but fairly light and entertaining. "

" Dr. No is 6th in the series, but was the first Bond movie, with Sean Connery and Ursula Andress. The book is in some ways very different from the movie, no radioactivity, for example. The escape sequence is pretty good, at least in its conception. "
