I'd give this book a rating of 3.5/5. I enjoyed these tremendously, after realising with some surprise just how different the films are to these stories, and then thought with exasperation about how I should have read the books long ago, because of course the books are better than the films. Bond is not quite as trigger happy here, for one. The books are almost slow, delicious, and honeyed in detail as compared to the "Wham-Bam_Thank-You-Ma'am of the films. This is my first JB book, and I'd now like to read all his other stories, even though I'm not generally fond of spin off films. This book had four stories, though only two are mentioned in the title, so that was another nice surprise :). The other two stories were The Property of a Lady and 007 in New York. Also- there is quite a nice scrambled eggs recipe here that I tried out with modifications.
