Review:
This one is a great collection to have. After reading through all the novellas within it, I felt that I may have missed out on a few good authors.
Well, the James Bond novella was a kind of let down but that was just because it was keeping in gist of the book’s genre. I was expecting a bit more action, but that one died out pretty soon, with just Bond doing a lil bit of talking.
Erle Standley Gardner is one of my fave authors, but then the character I like best is Perry Mason. I guess I love the law stuff more than the spy stuff. Read more…
