""Edge of my seat" is exactly the phrase I had in mind while I was reading (not literally, though, because I sit in a recliner). I was going to ask what you made of the ending, but apparently you found it as ambiguous as I do (which, as you…"
"With A Mind To Kill. Wow! What an ending. Bond's "assignment" from the covert Russian group seemed to place him in a no win situation. How he makes it out and his subsequent attempt to return to the West had me on the edge of my seat.…"
""At this point in his career 007 seems to be near the end of the line mentally and physically."
I didn't want to discuss the end because I wasn't sure whether or not you had finished reading.

"I saw your comments in the other thread but held off replying because I thought you might have more to say.
"Bond's mission seems like the most hopeless one he has ever been given."
Yes! That is exactly what I thought!
There is a…"
"I am not sure where best to place my comments on the latest Bond book. I have added it here as well as under the Bond DVD thread. Sorry for the confusion...
With A Mind To Kill.

"After reading You'll Never Believe What Happened to Lacey for a second time while waiting for The World Record Book of Racist Stories to arrive, I decided I didn't want to read them back-to-back and read two other books in…"
"I'm reading a biography of Catherine the Great, inspired by the Hulu TV show The Great. It's not written particularly well, so I don't see any need of going downstairs and getting the author's name, since I'm not going to…"
"I am currently reading Intellectuals and Race by Thomas Sowell. Dr. Sowell, took a couple of chapters from another book, and expanded it to here. I think it is a great companion piece to Guns, Germs, and Steel. The book is around 200 pages,but I…"
"YOU'LL NEVER BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED TO LACEY by Amber Ruffin & Lacey Lamar:
I recently ordered two books. The first, With a Mind to Kill by Anthony Horowitz is the third in his trilogy of James Bond novels, was due to be delivered Wednesday.…"
"I'm still plowing through the comics I picked up at the C.H.U.D. (Comics Here Under a Dollar) sale and at the Baltimore Comic-Con. Some of the things I picked up:
The Further Adventures of Nick Mason. The title character is a former…"
"Over the last few months, I've been indulging myself in an old passion: murder mysteries. I've been reading/re-reading some of the following series:
The Martin Beck Mysteries
The 87th Precinct novels
Inspector Morse

"I finished this yesterday, and it was great. One thing I forgot to mention before is that Ellroy has been doing Game of Thrones type twists before George R.R. Martin, and by that I mean killing off protagonists indiscriminately. This book had a…"
