One of the more comprehensive Bond novels, and Fleming has matured a lot by this time. Introduction to Blofeld as an antagonist, which will continue through OHMSS and YOLT in the novels. Felix Lighter and Bond have a good dynamic here, as they have in past novels. Overall, I enjoy the novel more than the movmie for this one. Even the underwater scenes as described in the book are more enteratining to me than watching them on the big screen. Domino seems underused, compared to the movie, but I may not be remembering her role in the movie correctly.
