Synopsis

James Bond is a movie icon. His status as the world's preeminent spy has been unchallenged for nearly fifty years. The films span several generations. Fans include both young and old, Western and Eastern, male and female, spy aficionados and just casual viewers. While the Cold War has come and gone, this super spy has lived the test of time. The James Bond series has entertained us with its wit, pulse-pounding action, gorgeous women, exotic locales, sleek cars, and imaginative gadgets. The formula is tested and it works almost every time, partially thanks to the actors that make Bond their own. It's a franchise that honors its traditions, yet is not afraid to adapt to the times. The James Bond Movie Guide is the ultimate source for this renowned movie franchise. With a collection of reviews and summaries for the 22 films, you will learn about each in detail and without fear of spoilers. A list of facts and cast for each film is included, along with series-wide facts, trivia, figures, and charts. Adding to the value are reviews for James Bond video games dating back to GoldenEye, some of the best Bond quotes from each film, as well as a list of the top 10 greatest James Bond theme songs.

Review:

"Kyle W. Bell's The James Bond Movie Guide is informative in many ways, yet the strong biases and word choice expressing those opinions might find a chill response from lovers of all things with the James Bond brand. Just the same, I feel it's an absolute  'must read' for fans of the film." -Flying with Red Haircrow
