Moonraker: A James Bond Novel Audiobook

" good read, and the Bond series, enjoyable and a page turner, and a fast read at that. "

" Some enjoyable set pieces and observations although it can be a little bit slow at time. Not the best Bond but still worth reading. "

" Luckily, this had next to nothing in common with the embarrassment that is the movie. Bond doesn't even leave Britain, let alone go to space :) Not the best Bond novel, a bit boring here and there, but still a worthy novel. "

" I never really thought about reading James Bond books before but then I was in an antique shop which happened to have a very large portion of them in paperback form. Wrapped up in twine and having been old dog eared and mouldering copies from first runs on I could not resist. So I brought them home and have been very fascinated since. Moonraker, the third in the series, is nothing like the film aside from a few character names it could be an entirely different Bond film than the Roger Moore vehicle. With the typical action and suspense I have come to associate with Bond I could not put it down. The story follows Bond as he tries to sort out the concerns of superiors on the safety of the Moonraker, a state..ahem.. of the art rocket which has been built by a national hero. I say state of the art since these novels were written well before the space age was in full swing. Although antiquated the stories are still intriguing and I cannot wait for the next adventure with Diamonds are Forever... "

" This book was okay, not the greatest and average overall. Still it wasn't a bad read either! Onwards to the next one :) "

" Two words: Retracting windshield for when car chases turn into gun battles. Totally sweet. Except for when James has to periodically wipe bug guts off of his face. But it's a small price to pay for being awesome. Also, he puts benzedrine in his champagne. We can all relate to that. "

" Bond remains on home soil in this instalment of 007. All the usual sophistication and cut-throat action expected when reading this series. Though I did find this book slightly slower paced than others from Ian Fleming. "

" Much better. Not sure it's 4 stars but it's a stronger book than the first two. If only I understood how to play bridge... "

" Solid read. By far better than the film adaptation. "

" Of all Fleming's James Bond novels, this was my favorite. Loved how the suspense kept building. Very exciting. "

" Campy fun about dealing cards, big bombs, and submarines! Enjoyable... although at times a little bewildering. I enjoy the parody of the early bond books. "

" By far the best of my re-read of the Bond books so far. Action, suspense. And surprisingly, Bond does not get the girl. "

" Classic Bond in the first half of the book with a card-playing showdown with Hugo Drax set amid the paranoia of a threat of a nuclear war in the years immediately after WWII. The second half of the book covers familiar territory that Austin Powers does better. "

" Good book and fun read. Mostly different than the film, but in a good way. "

" About the only things this book had in common with the movie is the title, and the names Bond, M, and Hugo Drax. Once again, I much preferred the book over the movie. It's all about the details. "

" One of my favorite James Bond books. Apparently it's quite easy to disguise Nazi rocket engineers. "

" Good, but not usual James Bond standards. Bit rushed and obvious plot. "

" An excellent, gripping thriller, the only Bond novel set entirely within Great Britain. "

" 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. "
