it just took a helluva long time for anyone to realize it.

As a teen, I LOVED the Flemings and too read them all at least twice.

BUT, this was the early '70's and the cinematic Bond was well established.

The difference between page and screen was NOT minor, but I very
much enjoyed the Connery era and seeing those films in repertory
houses with full screens for the first time was absolutely thrilling.

Read some of the non Fleming Bond novels too - by decent writers that just
didn't hit the mark. Bond died with Fleming. Period.

Skyfall may as well have been a Mission Impossible movie.

Ron Jeremy? So, straight from 007 to 0012 eh?
