I just read Bleak House and just
  Seriously the man can write. It was so hilarious (though I will admit sometimes I don't get the references and it's overly complicated for me). I loved Lady Dedlock's character - one of the truly fascinating, tragic characters. It was brilliant. Can't wait to read another book by him. Can't believe I waited this long cos I was afraid of not liking his novels!! __________________

Having finished COLD, I found it to be a poor end to Gardner's patchy run. The Children Of the Last Days Days made for a bland enemy. Though it was sad to see the old M retire, it does pave the way for Benson to bring the books parallel to the films, which won't please everyone. And it was getting silly with one character apparently being killed, only to turn up later very much alive, apparently being killed again, turning up alive again and then finally being killed off (and not by Bond).
Next time I read the books in from the beginning, I will try and read GoldenEye after COLD. Reading GoldenEye first. It was a bit awkward to go from male M in SeaFire, to the female M in Gardner's nevelisation of GoldenEye and back to the male M in COLD. 01. Moonraker - Ian Fleming (1955) 02. On Her Majesty's Secret Service - Ian Fleming (1963) 03. From Russia With Love - Ian Fleming (1957) 04. You Only Live Twice - Ian Fleming (1964) 05. Casino Royale - Ian Fleming (1953) 06.
