Every summer I try to read a book series to keep my mind engaged because I tend to lose my \u201cschool brain,\u201d so for instance last summer I read all The Lord of the Rings books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This summer however, I decided to read Ian Flemming\u2019s James Bond books but unfortunately the only books I had were the ones my grandma got my dad from the library she worked at in the \u201980s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, I had to start off with a worn down ripped 66 cent book and in the middle of the series with James Bond: \u201cFrom Russia with Love\u201d which was very good and immediately had me hooked on the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But this review is about the book that directly follows From Russia with Love, \u201cDr. No\u201d, which is Flemming\u2019s sixth installment in the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like every Bond book the story starts off with a problem and this problem begins in Jamaica where a British Intelligence officer is killed mysteriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Obviously, Bond has to come and save the day, right? Sort of because Bond\u2019s boss thinks he\u2019s going soft because of how the last book ended with Bond getting hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, Bond is sent on a \u201cvacation\u201d and I think this is what makes this one of my favorite books because of the scenery of Jamaica that is described because I can truly visualize and smell the smells of everything going on around him because of where I live. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFrom Russia with Love\u201d never had a whole lot of mystery in it but throughout this book you had questions \u201cWho is Dr. No?,\u201d \u201cWhat is this dragon Honey and Quarrel keep talking about?\u201d and \u201cWhat is this guy doing on that island?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ending was very exciting as well, From Russia with Love had a captivating ending, but \u201cDr. No\u201d had me hanging on to each word and wanting to speed read each page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Throughout this book there were no low points at which I was bored, and I will admit I do get bored reading, but if you wanted to pick up an exciting James Bond book to start that can be a stand-alone book this is your book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lastly, I will admit the movie for \u201cFrom Russia With Love\u201d is way better at following the book then \u201cDr. No\u201d, but book wise \u201cDr. No\u201d is more like Dr. Yes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
