James Bond is a new boy at Eton and he doesnt fit in. Ever since his parents died in a climbing accident James has been home schooled by his aunt but now its time to learn what most kids go through every day. With all the peculiar rules, the itchy uniform and the strict beaks, -teachers- James is struggling to fit in but academically he is finding Eton easy as he is a very bright boy. As all kids do, James finds he is confronted by an older student who immediately dislikes James. His name isBeing passionate about all things 007, I figured I would give this a go after finishing everything by Gardner and Benson, along with the recent novels by Deaver, Boyd, etc. However, I was not sure what to think, as much of my love of the Bond character is around his cold, cool demeanor and his dispassionate dispatching of baddies with his licence to kill.That said, this novel was incredible. It far surpassed my expectations as it set the stage for so much of what was to come; so many references
I have just started this book, the first bit is good when he goes though a lake full of iels, i rate this book but it is unusual for me to give mad ratings because i don't really like reading to be honest. I have only read 1 paragraph.
I thought the book wasnt necessary to add to the story of James Bond. With prequel stories there is always a risk of the story changing what was originally thought of the character, and this was a reinvention of the character and was not for the better. The story didnt feel like a James Bond story and the plot felt kind of weak. Despite having some good description, the story feels far too different from what has been shown of Bond and it doesnt feel like James actually changes, instead hes just
Before James Bond became the legendary 007, he was just a boy trying to fit in with all the other boys in Eton. On a holiday in the country, he finds that his nemesis George is also from the same area. Instead of becoming friends, when seen at the local fair - George hires some young bullies to beat up James. But James is soon to find out there is more to life than fitting in at school. Strange things are happening in the country too and George seems to be in the middle of it. I enjoyed this
It was a great book with many action packed parts and many twists.
Have you ever seen a James Bond movie?? Well about half the world has. This book is about James Bond but when he was younger. It's called Silverfin and is by Charlie Higson. It is the first book in the Young Bond series and I really liked it. It starts out with James at this new school in England because he is an orphan. He meets lots of people including this boy and his dad, the Hellbores. Mr. Hellbore used to work with his dad and they were rivals. During break James went to Scotland and lived
