  <default_description>Every major foreign government organization has a file on British secret agent James Bond. Now, Russia's lethal SMERSH organization has targeted him for elimination. SMERSH has the perfect bait in the irresistible Tatiana Romanova, who lures 007 to Istanbul promising the top-secret Spektor cipher machine. But when Bond walks willingly into the trap, a game of cross and double-cross ensues, with Bond both the stakes and the prize.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[With 'From Russia With Love' I thought I'd reached a book which would be close to the film. As such I was somewhat surprised by the first 100 or so Bond-less pages. And yet, that opening worked very well.

It's not because of the structure, as Fleming daringly keeps Bond out of the picture until several chapter into it.

    <body><![CDATA[Ian Fleming is into the details. Brands of cars, suits, bags, cigarettes, and alcohol. Having watched nearly all the Bond movies, I now better understand Bond's swagger and debonair represented by actors like Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan. However, I feel Bond is more sympathetic towards his victim...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62872810">more...</a>]]></body>

    <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. FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE was the second James Bond adventure to be adapted for film, and it's interesting to compare the movie to the book. Already at this early stage in the film fran...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/774541">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Over the summer I re-read all of the Ian Fleming James Bond books in order of their publication date(don't read any of the junk by others who followed Fleming after he died).  Mostly I re-read the books because the re-issue paper-backs had such cool covers.  The books are a one day read and absolute...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71552405">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Gross, I read it but it wasn't a good book.  I wanted to read a James Bond book, and I found it too sexual, too much into bodies and thinking about demented things.  I won't read another of his books, though my husband does say that this is not his best.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The writing is stilted and Mr. Fleming seems to have a similar relationship to Bond as Watson does to Holmes.  Still, I have to admit, I enjoyed every second of listening to this book &amp; look forward to reading more!]]></body>
