Diamonds Are Forever

Diamonds Are Forever
by Ian Fleming
read: 2013

So James Bond meets up with his female contact, and it turns out she's a smoking hot babe! Who saw that coming?

The fun thing about the books is that you get inside Bond's head a bit. As he's contemplating a life with Tiffany Case, he imagines that, due to being gang-raped as a teenager, her trust in the first man she sleeps with means things will have to be forever. At the same time, he realizes that, as a member of the secret service, he can only truly be married to "M." Bond never reaches a resolution, but glimpses like these into his mind give the character an emotional depth he doesn't have in the films.
