The Spy Who Loved Me by Ian Fleming review

The Spy Who Loved Me, by Ian Fleming, was different than the other James Bond books I've read.  Bond doesn't appear in the book until over halfway through the story.  Instead, the story is told in the first person by Vivienne Michel, a young woman from Canada who is on an adventure and runs into a situation she can't handle.

The story has nothing in common with the movie that has the same name, and while I was confused a little at the start, I found the book very interesting and different.  It was published in 1962, and I was surprised at some of the content for that era.

While I have enjoyed some of the other James Bond stories, this was a daring change of pace for James Bond stories, and I also enjoyed this one!
