    I read it when I was about 14, at the time it was the second biggest book I had read. The biggest being Lord of the Rings, of course.

    Has anyone ever read any James Clavell...Shogun, Tai-Pan, King Rat, etc they are a good read. His last book, Whirlwind was not as good as the Hong Kong/Far East based books.

    Right...if you were to own or only watch one film from each of the Bonds what would they be? (On Her Majesty's Secret Service is a given for obvious reasons)

    Ok guys i know you thought there was more important things like coups and tragedies in the world but no.

    I have a ghostbusters review......

    1. Took the wife to dinner and cinema. Could have seen now you see me 2 but chose to please her so she'd be happy later.

    2. movie is barely a 6. Main two characters were very weak and let it down. The mad on and the rest were good and after a half hour it got better as rhey came more into it.

    Basically they ****ed up the peter and ray characters. Mccarthy and whoever were just poor.

    Cgi good. Bit of humour... tolerable.

    Highlights wrre cameos of original cast and guy flipping the bird

    you know im right.

    I would actually say each first movie by each actor was good.

    Goldeneye was quite good.
    Timothy dalton one was also good.
    I thought casino royale quite good too.

    Yeah.. the one from spy where shes a know nothing with confidence issues at start.

    If shed played it like her role in identity thief. It would be ok...

    She was piss poor in this. Really weakest one.

    They combined egon and ray in one mad character and she was best in t
    It.
