Product Description:
Every major foreign government organization has a file on British secret agent James Bond. Now, Russia's lethal SMERSH organization has targeted him for elimination. SMERSH has the perfect bait in the irresistible Tatiana Romanova, who lures 007 to Istanbul promising the top-secret Spektor cipher machine. But when Bond walks willingly into the trap, a game of cross and double-cross ensues, with Bond both the stakes and the prize.

I'd recommend this book or Casino Royale if you're curious about the 007 series but don't want to read more than one or two. "From Russia with Love" showcases Ian Fleming's background in military intelligence (MI5) for the British navy during World War II. The movie stays pretty much true to the book -- except for the ending. JFK was right to praise this book. It's macabre to note that Bond novels and movies -- especially this one -- sometimes have mild anti-Communist themes and that Marxist subversives ... Read More

Ian Fleming's James Bond novels are certainly not the mixed bag that the films are, but some are certainly better than others. From Russia with Love is, along with Casino Royale and On Her Majesty's Secret Service, among the best.
From Russia with Love starts off on a different foot than most of the other Bond novels. Bond himself doesn't appear until part two, 95 pages into the story. Until then, the story centers on the deadly operatives of SMERSH, Soviet Russia's spy-killing organization. ... Read More

I just finished reading FRWL a 2nd time, with 10 yrs between readings. It's a nice contrast to the rambling texts that litter today's best seller lists. Again I enjoyed the crisp, tight prose; the delayed introduction of Bond's character; the villians and heroes; the "cultural" drama of the Cold War. It's truly an espionage tale "par excellence." I concur with other 5-star reviews -- stop reading here and pick up the book!

Though it ends with as sharp a period as any Ian Fleming ever made, the operative punctuation in 1957's "From Russia, With Love" is found in its very title, a comma. "From Russia" is not an end but a turning, from the lighter Bond adventures Fleming penned at the start of the series toward twistier, more complex yarns.
It's also one of the most captivating of Bond stories. It opens with an image of a well-built naked man lying face-down on a rose-hedged lawn. He looks dead but is very much alive, ... Read More

They couldn't write a book like this today. For example, the main character--Bond--doesn't even show up until page 123! The entire first third of the book is a detailed following of the villains plotting Bond's death. It's not until we get to the execution that we meet James Bond.
Be that as it may, I found it to be an interesting change of pace, and I was never bored. There is more espionage than action, but when the fighting occurs, it is quick and brutal. Fleming can make you cringe with his ... Read More
