    <body><![CDATA[I read all the Ian Fleming James Bond novels in middle school and high school, and this year decided to revisit a few. THUNDERBALL is my favorite of the four I've re-read so far, and I should note that I didn't expect this to be the case at the outset: Not more than five pages in, M., the head of MI...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/9616876">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[<em>Thunderball</em> has proved the longest slog of the Bond books that I've read so far. The plot is relatively weak, and the prose is leaden and bloated.

It introduces SPECTRE and Ernst Starvo Blofeld and is just as exciting (if not more so) then the 1965 movie of the same name. <br/><br/>The action and drama just click in this book and I could just never put it down.

    <body><![CDATA[A lot more about the unnatural life one leads just by drinking milk and eating white bread, and even an anti-smoking message in a Bond novel.  It was funny to read how both M and Bond were won over by the Shrubland treatment, but drop the new habits once the heat turns up worldwide.
