so-soI didn‘t like this student‘s version much because it left out the whole voodoo narrative. i am not sure if it was particularly thrilling for my students. But then the original is so full of stereotypes and degrading language at least this was not given in this version.
I am currently reading four different novels with four different classes. Of course they are the students versions which are easier and have less different narratives but I get mixed up a lot - especially when the lessons are one after another. Last time it told the students The Hound of the Baskervilles was written by Ian Fleming. 🙈
so-soBond is sent over to the States to tackle some secret business in New York and then in Jamaica. The language around Black people in this book is horrendous so you need to be aware at that.
I found myself laughing my head off at a comment about a receptionist being too pretty, a reception area needs someone with less looks and more brains! Ugh these books are something.
There's a lot to overlook in these books in terms of race and gender.

Books that left a deep impression on me
(I read the James Bond books at a VERY impressionable age - I think this was my first)
@Amiable would you like to join in (if you have you been tagged already)?
#Scarathon #TeamSlaughter @Clwojick #ChillingPhotoChallenge #VooDoo I went with the movie poster for this book by Ian Fleming only because the book cover I have is without jacket and boring for a photo! Happy Monday Littens!

Since there were a few comments about the old cover on my James Bond book yesterday, I thought I'd post pictures of the others from my library. Here are the Roger Moore film tie-ins (and his diary while filming Live and Let Die - I was a huge fan, but you have to make allowances, I was VERY young😂)
This was my first encounter with Harlem (I read all the James Bond books at an unhealthily early age I think I was 10 when I read this one) but I don't remember any angels.

Went to Spyscape in NYC - it's a spy museum/experience complete with surveillance, lie detection, and laser maze challenges among others. I got assigned the role of Spycatcher at the end due to the data they collected on me throughout. It said I am a perfectionist, am analytical, and inquisitive. They pegged me spot on. Super fun day and got some books from the upstairs gift shop. Am about to visit the downstairs SPY BOOKSTORE. #spy #spyscape #nyc

More colourful covers from the James Bond collection I bought my husband for his birthday! #PinkCover #AprilBookishMadness
#photoadaynov16 #day22 #spynovels a couple of treasured classics.... that I rescued from a donation box of books that my Dad was getting rid of when I was a teenager.... love these covers 😊(check out the pre-decimalization prices!)
so-soNot my favorite Ian Fleming Bond book, but it is my favorite copy because it's a souvenir from #shakennotstirred signed by Simon Vance himself. He made listening to the whole series fun, not to mention the Twitter viewing parties.
