There were a few good scenes of Bond’s battles with the gangsters of Mr. Big reminded me a lot of a black version of the villain the Kingpin from Marvel Comics’ Spider-Man and Daredevil. This book had its moments and exciting/intriguing parts, there’s no denying that. ![]() While “Live and Let Die” wasn’t a terrible novel, I felt that it wasn’t as terrific and exciting as my mind and the synopsis had built it up to be, nor as how the film version with Roger Moore portrayed it. ![]() I dared to voice the unutterable blasphemy that a film adaptation was better than the book itself. While I don’t remember all of the film, I remember after having read this book that it was very different and actually better.

Has James Bond bitten off more than he can chew, or is this a perfect opportunity for him to excel in his deadly skills as a double agent? He is also a vicious operative of the Russian terrorist syndicate, SMERSH, and, perhaps, most fearsome of all, the rumored zombie of the dark voodoo god Baron Samedi himself. ![]() Big is a notorious Harlem gangster who has been hoarding and running pirate gold in illegal operations. 007 is back, and this time he must face a threat from America’s shores. ![]()
