Live and Let Die Audiobook

[@twt3716]

It's always nice and appreciated when a narrator takes the time and makes the effort to bring the book alive for his/her listeners . Or when they put in the same passion they would if reading to their own children. Tremendous. Ian Flemming was ahead of his time. And the reader reads brilliantly.

[@lolunknown9830]

This reader went all out on acting. Respect

[@vrtdoc]

What a great discovery these Bond novels are! Nothing like the films; better.

[@cathsrq]

Absolutely! Fleming's writing is a so sensual, deep, observational, cerebral, nuanced. No pop influences, so little on gadgets, the woman are allies and brilliant and darling and brave and bold, I went from clive cussler to Fleming. Bond pace is steady.

They're a product of the 50s--racist and sexist

bravo to the reader👏🏾👏🏾. really gets you into it.

[@seantatschl1594]

Good choice for narrator. Sounds very similar to Roger Moore.

[@Hollis_has_questions]

David Rintoul is my favorite Darcy! And Live and Let Die is one of the best James Bond books!

[@andrewkunz6029]

Agree 100%. Had never read P&P before I had seen that specific series (PBS in Canada) but I had read it before the series was over, and a few times since. I've only found one poor quality version on youtube since. Looking forward to L&LD. Was delighted when I found out it was to be Rintoul reading.

What's really scary is if you read a Bulldog Drummond story or some Dennis Wheatley and realise how progressive ian Fleming was compared to British thriller writers of an earlier generation.

[@richardkeeling3166]

It's amazingly good writing compared to popular writing of today

[@VidelxSpopovich]

Oh my gosh, I was just thinking the same thing. I’m going through the books in order and I’ve been kind of blown away by how ahead of their time these books are. The last one had Bond outsmarted by a woman and nearly rendered sterile, which leads him to question his own masculinity and grow as a man. Really great stuff. I’m not done with this one yet but so far considering how many times they’ve used the word negro I’m really surprised by how Bond and his colleges just immediately thought it was odd at the time for a black man to be a big criminal. That’s wild considering what I had been expecting from this series.

2:51- no American would understand the word subway to mean underpass. It only means that underground train that you find in big cities.

[@Calypso694]

I’m glad we kind of got book accurate bond with Timothy Dalton and Daniel Craig(in character) with just how cold and calculating they were with a heart of gold and how casino Royale was pretty book accurate mostly but DAMN so I wish we got a bond tv series or movie that actually adapted the stories page for page word for word on screen. I get it’s redundant because books are just written movies in your mind but seeing a 1950s black and white spy movie with Bond where he’s just a pure machine would be awesome.

[@Nebechadnezzar]

As a black guy, there are quite cringey parts to this novel. As a Bond fan however, it's a good time overall. 👍

[@superdananderson1382]

Yes, sir. You can tell it was written back in the '50s. It would certainly have to be rewritten in parts today. Taking that in consideration, I agree with you - it's Bond.

There's nothing in this universe or timeline or any other that deserves to be called "cringey." Nothing! That word didn't even exist when this novel was published, so it's unfair to use the word to describe the book.

Grow up. It was written in 1954.

‘Racism” is the judgement of another’s behavior or value based primarily on race. Words that were accepted as non-derogatory social descriptors at the time are not “racist”, they are “old”…(kind of like the overuse of the term “racism”)

No, it's not "bloody awful." And don't say "No thanks." Nobody offered you this. You're the one who decided to click on this video. And there's no need for those mocking emojis.

@@imfsresidentotaku9699 What do you mean "Nothing was offered"? Anything uploaded is 'OFFERED' for everyone to view right? So what are you talking about? You are imagining a lot of words and intent that absolutely do not appear in my comment. I do say "no thanks" because it's the polite way to decline something you don't want. It's also considered decent to explain to somebody how they could improve something, would you prefer I just left people guessing? Why are you so misanthropic? 🤔 We're obviously very different people and I'm incredibly happy about that 😉
