DEVIL MAY CARE is an insult to the memory of Ian Fleming, and the fact that the book carries his name on the cover is doubly insulting! It’s a truly appalling novel, and NOTHING like Fleming’s wonderful original James Bond novels.

The story and scripts of both ‘Casino Royale’ (2006) and ‘Quantum of Solace’ (2008) are far superior to Sebastian Faulks sad effort and both will be remembered long after his book has disappeared into obscurity, where it belongs.

In the 21st Century there is only room for one agent 007, and that’s the character that explodes into action across the cinema screens of the world in the films expertly produced by EON Productions. The true authentic literary James Bond sadly died with his creator in 1964 and should remain so, if for no other reason than as a mark of respect for a writer whose talent, style and ability as a storyteller stood head and shoulders above the combined out put of all those that followed.

I haven't read it, but the whole villain with a giant monkey paw hand didn't sound that great.
