Ian Fleming described James Bond’s breakfast with egg and bacon in the hotel, in a way that it makes you feel you are there. I am proud to have Flemming as my last name.
- beachy 4y agoMy Dad (rest his soul) turned me onto Bond books. I'm surprised by the lack of appreciation in these comments - wondering if many people are going off the films rather than the books. The thing I love is the detail he uses. Mundane objects - his watch, his meal, his car are intensely described in a way that adds to the narrative. And Bond is human - he's sometimes petty, vengeful, lustful, lazy, but appealing - our heart feels for him when his wife is killed.
