13. "You Only Live Twice" by Ian Fleming

Mon Mar 18, 2019, 07:23 AM

Mar 2019

I was curious to see how the book compared to the movie. In this case, the book and the movie were very different, so it was hard to compare. Other than it was set in Japan, and the characters of James Bond and "Tiger" Tanaka, there were few similarities. No hi-jacked space capsules, no hollow volcanoes, no cool helicopters, etc. I enjoyed the book anyway.
