Not sure how to play this. What do I do? State which of the novels left is my favourite?

In that case it has to be OHMSS. +1

You take a point away from one of the remaining choices and give it to your favourite (in this case OHMSS). Last book standing is the winner.

Ok, so I think my point for OHMSS has been added. I wish to deduct a point for FRWL.

I may have to call it unless someone other than Dr No plays. I actually (slightly) prefer FRWL to OHMSS, but don't want to get into an endless cycle of back-and-forth points allocation.

I'll vote for OHMSS too. What's the next game?

Thank god OHMSS was made in the 1960s and not ( if in some parallel universe the rights to OHMSS were owned by someone else for years like CR) by Barbara Broccoli with Daniel Craig. That would have been awful.

Too awful to think of I still think Connery would have made it a classic I could even see Brosnan making it a gem. In fact last time I watched it I could see a bunch of areas where Brosnan might have better. It hard to say since lazenby was such a one shot he had the right look and attitude but was wooden at times. But this new age Bond with all the baggage and misery thank god it was filmed in the 1960s and Craig's Spy will never touch it
