   • bioText:

     Ian Lancaster Fleming was born in London in 1908. His first job was at Reuters news agency, after which he worked briefly as a stockbroker before working in Naval Intelligence during World War Two. His first novel, Casino Royale, was published in 1953 and was an instant success. Fleming went on to write thirteen other Bond books as well as two works of non-fiction and the children's classic Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The Bond books have earned praise from figures such as Raymond Chandler, who called Fleming 'the most forceful and driving writer of thrillers in England' and President Kennedy, who named From Russia with Love as one of his favorite books. The books inspired a hugely successful series of film adaptations which began in 1961 with the release of Dr No.He was married to Ann O'Neill with whom he had a son, Caspar. He died in 1964.

reviews

1. • premium: False
   • source: Raymond Benson, author of High Time to Kill
   • content: "Exciting sequences, especially the railroad scene, capture all the thrills one has come to expect."
2. • premium: True
   • source:
   • content: Most people don't think of Ian Fleming's James Bond novels as great literature, but that's exactly how Kenneth Branagh, one of our finest actors, narrates this one. His performance is notable for exploring the subtleties of the villain Scaramanga and focusing on Bond's interior life--both of which may surprise those who know 007 only through the films. The setting, more important here than in most novels, comes across as sensuous and menacing. There are moments when Branagh's voice goes very quiet--perhaps too quiet if you're listening in the car--but the effect is mesmerizing. Some traditionalists might prefer Bond to have a Scots accent, but that's a minor quibble with a marvelous reading. D.M.H. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine
3. • premium: True
   • source:
   • content: The story feels as if (like Bond himself in this novel) author Fleming were just coming off a rough patch, both mentally and physically. The one-dimensional plot, the clichéd henchmen, the overwrought title character all churn through a formulaic 007 tale set in sunny Jamaica. Bond occasionally redeems himself with suaveness, but if it weren't for the restrained and very British performance by Robert Whitfield, this would be a "must-miss." Whitfield, as usual, nails dialect, mood, and pace so well that some listeners might overlook the weak story. D.J.B. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine
