A collection of quotes and shots from various Bond films, broken out by topic.
The Wit and Wisdom of James Bond had some amusing quotes that serve as a refreshing reminder to those who watched the films before. Yet, reading them outside the context of film, the humor & wit could be lost. Most of the entertainment of the delivery of these quotes were in the context of the films they were in.
Still, this little book did what the title says. I did feel that too much focus was spent on the more recent Daniel Craig films.
But I digress.
3/5. Exactly what it says. No more, no less. Some quotes without the context may not make sense to a casual Bond fan.
