    "The Bond Man" Man
  

*by B***R on Reviewed in the United States on 17 July 2023*

If it is a James Bond movie, I have seen them all and have read a couple of the Bond books. With all due respect, Sean Connery is #1.Having not read the Fleming bio, I picked up a copy and did so. Had no idea of the complexity of Mr. Fleming and what it entailed over his lifetime. Rather than delve into the details a bit I would simply say that it is an outstanding bio and a book that should be on your "must read" list.

    TREASURY OF JUICY FACTS DROWNED IN A DELUGE OF BORING IRRELEVANCIES
  

*by W***T on Reviewed in Germany on 11 September 2022*

I certainly take my hat off to Mr Lycett for taking the time and having the patience to collect this monumental pile of biographic information whilst interviewing dozens of now mostly forgotten celebrities. It seems, however, that there was a lot of quid-pro-quo in this, with everyone demanding the biographer that they would only offer their opinions of Fleming if they were also written about extensively into the book.The book is also written in strict chronological order like a journal of events instead of also concentrating on themes, as well as giving little reflection to the facts. As such, close friends like Noel Coward and Ivar Bryce keep being mentioned in passing instead of being given a proper review of how they came to mean so much to Fleming.As such, far from being a fascinating biography about the creative energies of Ian Fleming, as the title implies, this book is more like a detailed diary of every single irrelevant visit from friends or tiffs that the Great Spymaster ever had with them, as well as every single passing illness and even tummy upset that he ever endured, leaving one to keep asking the question, “So what ?”All of this means that even the most ardent James Bond movie and Ian Fleming books fan has to mercilessly wade through mountains of irrelevance to get to the juicy currants that should have been extracted to make a proper autobiography that one can genuinely enjoy reading.

    Great Read
  

*by C***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 February 2023*

Slow at first, but intriguing as you read. What a strange, selfish and toffee nosed individual, but a great writer.Basically lazy, but maybe most writers are like that?!
