As a young kid my dad allowed me to watch the James Bond movies. Star Wars and For Your Eyes Only were my two favorite movies for a long time. Star wars was replaced by The Empire Strikes Back which remains among my favorite movies of all time. As for Mr. Bond, I have enjoyed all but two of those films. I was watching On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and thought to myself I wonder how different the books are from the films. As no book ever brought to the screen has been the same, and modern technology has relegated items that would have been high tech at the time obsolete, I decided I would try out the books. I started with Casino Royale. I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you haven't had a chance, I would recommend checking them out. Though it may change your view of the films.
