You would have been like Peter Sellers in Dr. Stranglove.

None of the movies were 100% in line with the Fleming books. "From Russia with Love", "Goldfinger", and OHMSS were the closest. Others simply borrowed a title and several scenes were lifted from different books altogether.

Yes, indeeed...

Movie MOONRAKER is different from novel MOONRAKER...Hugo Drax is still the villain in the novel...However, in the novel, he does not deal with space shuttles...His main weapon is the rocket...

Novel SPY WHO LOVED ME is about Agent 007 dealing with gangsters in upstate New York...

Nope...Read Ian Fleming’s books....

A good advice indeed...

John Gardner also wrote some Bond novels...I enjoyed reading some of those many years ago...
