What an incredibly palatable and accessible spy novel! There certainly was some stereotypical 1950s sentiment but I loved seeing that, even through a modern lense! The romance was in typical Bond-style so it was mostly superficial but it was exactly as advertised!
Graphic: Sexism, Torture, and Kidnapping
