After years of being a Bond movie fan, I finally started reading the original novels earlier this year, and they are fantastic. Fleming's writing is very striped down but well-paced and exciting. Excellent writer.

@58fenix oh you cant miss it the chapter heading says in bold letters N****r heaven and in the novel thunderball a character is called N****r fish also in flemmings novels americans are depicted as stupid and inferior to british agents. flemming was a british nationilist who had a very low opinion of foreigners and minorites in general his writings reflect his personal views.

Fleming writes like a boss, enough said.

@mrbain123 Most important trait of a psychopath is lack of remorse to his victims. They dont have any emphaty, thats why they bhave always difficulties bonding with a person, ie they are very promiscuos and deceptive, even to their own family. Psychoapaths dons always run around and killing people, they just dont care.

ian flemming was a racist and mysogonist his books are full of sterotypes and racial sluring.
