I popped back open this thread... Seems many of the YJB threads have aged off the 30 day default and, being new to CBn, Agent_OO7 may not know how to get to them.

Re the YJB books. While I'm not crazy about the idea, I will give them a read. Who knows, maybe they'll be good. :)

The idea is crap, I will buy the books a collectibles as I am a huge literary Bond fan but I'd rather see some good old ADULT Bond Books. I never thought I'd have to refer to the books series as ADULT Bond and KIDDY Bond. :)

Ah my mistake. Sorry for the confusion. Regarding the question, I'll be buying all of them.

I think I'll stay far away from Kiddie Bond this time... we all remember that wonderful incarnation of JB Jr.

I'll probably give the first one a read and if I like it then go from there. It's worth giving it a try just to see what they are like. No point in being so negative about it all the time.

I will buy and read them and hope that my 8 year old son (9 byu the time the first comes out) will enjoy them.

I've shown him a number of Bonds and while he loves Star Wars, LOTR, tons of other films/series Bond doesn't grab him like it did the kids of my generation (I'm 40). Of course back then (the mid-60s) Bond didn;'t have the competition he has now.

I will buy and read them but they are unnecessery. Bond's origin should always be mystical and not so detailed.
