A review by henwen
Diamonds Are Forever by Ian Fleming
2.0
Tiffany Case is probably my favorite Bond Girl so far, but overall I found the story to be pretty boring, though I liked the bookended start/finish. Also, as with Live and Let Die, Fleming's depiction of Black Americans is just...a total bummer, and in this book it felt....kinda out of pocket with an unnecessary monologue!
Audiobook gripe: kind of hated the volume differentials between Lewis' voices, one minute he's doing his super soft RP accent and then the next second he's YELLING in Brooklyn-ese. Felt like the mixing could have been better!
