A superb book -- Andrew Roberts * Wall Street Journal *
Witty and intelligent * Financial Times *
A splenetic turn of phrase that’s read-aloud funny * Independent on Sunday *
Almost insanely entertaining * Daily Telegraph *
A more entertaining tour of 007, and the period associations that get sucked into Winder’s great comic intelligence, is hard to imagine * London Review of Books *

A delightfully quirky, immediately engaging book * Scotland on Sunday *
An entertaining romp through the literary and cinematic heartland of James Bond country * Sunday Times *
