Why read it?
1 author picked Moonraker as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I remember binging Bond movies with my brother as a boy. In the early eighties, the glorious days of VCR tapes, the first big-screen TVs, with not a cell phone in sight. I’ve seen them all now, and as an author myself and a reader all my life, I’ve read every one as well. All of Fleming’s originals plus ten or twelve of the newer ones. Those are good, too, and more modern. You’ll see what I mean in a moment.
As usual, the book is better than the movie, but very different, and not just in terms of plot.…
From Patrick's list on action thrillers to keep you awake past bedtime.
