Young Bond Books

Written by Charlie Higson, It details the early life of James Bond in the 1930's. Five books have been written: SilverFin, Blood Fever, Double or Die, Hurricane Gold and By Royal Command. Have any of you read them, I think they are a good read.

I haven't read any of them. How do they compare with Fleming's writings?

Only read the first two Young Bond books and they're pretty good.

I think they are good, but not as good as Fleming's

Someone elsewhere posted pictures of the new U.S. paperback Young Bond covers and quite frankly they're a bit naff.

Not *real* young kids..I'd say they're OK for 10 and up.

I agree with the Dr: I thought they were for youngsters and would not be that entertaining. Perhaps I should read one!
Would you like to see them made into movies Captain Lewis?

I would enjoy seeing it, but I suppose they would edit the bulk of the book.

The Harry Potter books are for kids, but adults can enjoy them too. I haven't read any of the Young Bond books, but from what I've heard, they're the same way.

HP seems more popular than Young Bond.

There was a pretty big wait for the books here in the States.They came out here a *long* time after they did in the UK.

Read part of Hurricane Gold at Barnes and Noble today(it's only just come out in the States apparently).More of the same-and James Bond isn't in the book until 20 plus pages in
