"Well....good question. I'd be hard pressed to figure which book I liked best. They all were great stories,some with a bit more depth than others,wild plots and characters,some more "beliveable" . Off the bat I'll say FRWL...a very well drawn in depth book.
Maybe this is another thread but I always wonderd what IF would've thought of the evolution of Bond and the adaptation of his books had he lived. I think he'd have liked CR and Craig as it seems to be going back to the more darker,in-depth 007 Fleming wrote. "

"I'm sure Fleming would've loved the paychecks.....and more original Fleming books would have been wonderfull! It would have been nice to see some of the gaps of Bonds life filled in,and new assignments too.
I think he lived until the filming of TB (?). I wonder if him being on the set helped make those early movies so like the books? Funny how FRWL and OHMSS are two of my fave books AND movies."

" Oh,sorry ,I thought he lived a bit longer........
Fleming was prob'ly spinning in his grave over McClory."
