Book Reviews of Doctor No (James Bond Novels)
Book Review: 5 stars for action, 1 for racism
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm sure most readers know about the rank racism that runs rampant in the James Bond books. Yes, it was a "sign of the times" and all that, but that doesn't make it any more bearable to read today. Such a shame to mar otherwise good books with this ugliness.
The racism cannot be overlooked, but if you can get through it, the action sequences at the end are extremely well-written and exciting. I was certainly sucked in, holding my breath, even though I knew darn well that James Bond must live through it and triumph over evil. A book that can build that type of suspense is still worth a read.
