Page "On Her Majesty's Secret Service (novel)" Paragraph 25
from
Wikipedia
Writing for The Washington Post, Jerry Doolittle thought that Bond is " still irresistible to women, still handsome in a menacing way, still charming.
" Doolittle was fulsome in his praise for the novel, saying " Fleming's new book will not disappoint his millions of fans ".
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, although even he admitted that " you can't argue with success ".
However, he went on to say that " simply pro forma, I must set down my opinion that this is a silly and tedious novel.
" Boucher went on to bemoan that although On Her Majesty's Secret Service was better than The Spy Who Loved Me, " it is still a lazy and inadequate story ", going on to say that " my complaint is not that the adventures of James Bond are bad literature ... but that they aren't good bad literature ".
