From Russia With Love
Ian Fleming
When I was presented with this book in exchange for Nightwatch it was tightly bound in a discreet brown paper jacket, looking much like a package that might be as likely to contain some earth-shattering top secret information as it was to spontaneously self-destruct. The front appropriately read "Christa's Secret Book of Secrecy." Being strictly forbidden from researching it, I was told only that it was really good and had plot twists that were not to be prematurely discovered. In addition to the cover being concealed, all pages preceding Chapter 1 were also tucked away into the makeshift jacket.
Being a chick and not exactly a Bond fiend, I had no idea this was a Bond book.
A very good Bond book, I might add. I can't really compare it to the others since I haven't read them (yet!) but it was definitely entertaining and extremely well-written. Clear language, great development of the characters (even conveying their personalities through their choices in food and drink in detail) and awesome structure - focus is given to the antagonist plot for the first half of the book, while Bond doesn't even make his first appearance until Chapter 11. As if any of that weren't enough, Tatiana is just so hot.
Totally recommended for a bite of brain candy!
