Interesting way of doing it:

Gardner:
Best--Nobody Lives Forever
Worst--The Man From Barbarossa

Benson:
Best--The Facts Of Death
Worst--“Midsummer Nights Doom”.

Must get “Blast From The Past” though!

I've never read any of Gardener, but I can do Benson.

Best: High Time to Kill

Worst: Never Dream of Dying - I went insane with rage after Draco tried to kill Bond...

I recommend Gardner to you most definitely. Licence Renewed, For Special Services, Icebreaker, Nobody Lives Forever, Never Send Flowers, are some of his best, in my opinion.

Literary Bond fans should definitely read his books.

Thanks, I'll look into it. I read Benson after Fleming and Amis because my friends had all of the Bensons so I just borrowed them. I saw a lot of 7 of Gardner's books on ebay for only a few bucks, I guess I'll go for them.

Yes, you can easily pick up Gardner on ebay. My word of advice is to read at least his first five in order. It makes sense that way.

Naturally. I just wish I had more than a week and a half before school started, I could probably kill the entire series in a month. Oh well, study hall it shall be for Mr Gardner.

Haha. Yes, dreaded school.

Good books though.
