That's not mine (just the same title). I posted a review on Amazon, but it didn't show up. Guess I'll try again.

I should say that the review is by Zencat and is now on the main page of CBn.

Just took a stroll through the review and I cant wait for a copy! Im having flashbacks of YOLT, but im guessing the action and bedding with be jacked up a level

[RossMan]

I just got my copy in the mail, it looks fantastic. As soon as I get off the computer I'm going to vanish for the rest of day and will have my commentary posted.

I decided not to read John's review of TMWTRT, since I already know that I will begin to read this books the moment it makes it's way to my doorstep from that island in the Atlantic.

That decision lasted 4 minutes and 32 seconds.

Great review, ZC. But I'm going to have to have to wait for the mailman at the curb now.

Awesome review, zencat.

Unfortanatly I will have to wait until June to read it after all. It's a long story...

Great review zencat !. I'm a BOND CAPER CONISSEUR (I can't spell the word) and your comments regarding Benson's best caper have me in raptures. As a student of Bond Capers I can't wait to read it !!!.

[zencat]

Thanks guys. I tried to keep the review SPOILER free. Hope you all like the book as much as I did.

Whoops, I made an embarrassing mistake. TFOD was RB's sophomore outing, not his "freshman" outing. Why is it I can only spot the mistakes when it's printed? Oh well...

Just to clarify for you Nexus, the objective of the caper is pretty standard stuff, but it's the methodology of the caper that I find brilliant and very Bond.
