from
Wikipedia
The critic for Time magazine acknowledged the critical storm around Fleming and Dr. No, but was broadly welcoming of the book, writing that whilst " not all readers will agree that Dr. No ... is magnificent writing, ... pages of it, at least, qualify for Ezra Pound's classic comment on Tropic of Cancer: ' At last, an unprintable book that is readable '.
" Writing in The New York Times, Anthony Boucher — described by a Fleming biographer, John Pearson as " throughout an avid anti-Bond and an anti-Fleming man "— was again damning of Fleming's work, saying " it's harder than ever to see why an ardent coterie so admires Ian Fleming's tales ".
Continuation Bond author Raymond Benson described Boucher's critique as " true to form " and " a tirade " as Boucher concluded his review by saying: " it is 80, 000 words long, with enough plot for 8, 000 and enough originality for 800.
