Carte Blanche - Jeffery Deaver does James Bond |
Wednesday, 27 July 2011 | |
Absolute rubbish, I'm afraid. I rather enjoyed the last Bond rewrite by Sebastian Faulks and Deaver is a competent writer so I bought Carte Blanche with eager anticipation. Sadly, of course Fleming himself was a crap writer but rather like Dan Brown, he had one great talent; you could not put the damn things down. Deaver does not have the same ability. Cardboard characters and thin plot; unbelievable; ordinary. |
