I LOVE the Bond movies and this book was so informative and interesting. I found myself looking up all the people that almost became Bond, James Bond! I learned a lot about the movie industry and the actors and others involved in the creation of the Bond movies.

A very well told history of the original search for the actor that would portray James Bond and each subsequent iteration of the character that in lesser hands may have simply been a list of names and stats.

Thanks to The History Shelf and Netgalley for the digital ARC. This was given to me for an honest review.
