So great to see Bond, James Bond, back on TH-cam. I had them all lined up for listening several years ago, but after the first two books, they were taken down. So hurry up everyone! Before they disappear.😊
The final battle between Bond and Blofeld in you only live twice I thought was a great ending to this story arch. Probably the best Bond v Blofeld fight outta everything books and films

On Her Majesty's Secret Service movie is one of my favourite James Bond movies. Have yet to read the book. I read that movie was faithful to the book not sure if that is true.
Word is, during the filming of this movie the director thought that George Lazenby might be gay. So to prove his straightness George ended up banging all the films actresses. If you’ve seen the movie, you’d know how lucky he was, there’s like 20 model-level beauties in that one.
Yeah.. that's total bollocks. What actually happened is that the producers were concerned that anyone who had previously worked as a male model might not be straight. A rather uneducated and dated presumption. Before they gave him the role they sent a hooker to his room to make sure he liked women. When he tells the story he says that someone was there watching to make sure.. but George has always been a bit liberal with the truth so it's difficult to know for sure.
Acquire backups and physical copies of all the things you like. I've been doing it for years because I knew this was coming. The cultural vandalism is only getting started.
@@tllaw I've been listening too dudes channel for awhile now while I try to fall asleep. All I could think about at work is if this news means this gets taking down for hate speech 💬 id be heated.
What an excellent book, only thing that stuck out was the fact that escaping the pursuers he states they struggle to get away as they have chains on. Chains are only good up to 30 or they fly apart.
@@DaveSCameron Aren’t you busy ruining the UK, David? Anyway, this was a year ago, so I have no idea what I was referring to. But I’m sure it was well-reasoned, intelligent, and cogent.
Oddly, i prefer the book to the film (prefer Tracy as a blonde although Diana Rigg was gorgeous) And even more interestingly, can't help but thinking of Connery as Bond in this
@@brucemarshall3446 Agreed, watched the film many times, I liked how it widened the plot to all around the world and holding it for ransom, raising the stakes more, and Blofeld's motivation behind the plot too.
"A Westerly OFF SHORE breeze"? 9.50. That would be an ONSHORE breeze on any Atlantic beach in the north of France. A minor but surprising mistake from Mr Fleming
Indeed very overrated, the Bond Girl is probably the weakest of all the Bond Girls in the books, weepy, bipolar, self pitying, needy, having tantrums, childish, immature and a damsel in distress. The romance is given no rationale of why Bond fell in love with this damaged girl? Not buying it and it's rushed. The plot doesn't makes sense, why Blofeld's plan was just aimed at UK? and yes, this is coming from someone who loves the movie, so.....
This Book is way too overrated! But a very underrated film! Tracy is the weakest Bond Girls in the books, weepy, bipolar, immature and childish, having tantrums, self pitying, and needy, not worthy of Bond's proposal, wished that Bond just dumped this Bond Girl somewhere, she's annoying. Diana Rigg's version is a vast improvement and miles better, in fact, she's my favorite Bond Girl in the films, tough, witty, had an inner fire and warmth in her, headstrong and not easily turned by Bond's charm, she's also playful. The romance was given no rationale of why Bond fell in love with this damaged girl? What Tracy had that made Bond fell in love with her? Nothing! In fact she had all of the negative qualities that men hates in a woman. Not buying it, and it's rushed, not convincing. The film improved on it by giving Tracy a lot more to do, showing her qualities, thus proving that she's worthy of being Bond's wife, and the film gave time to develop their romance too. The plot doesn't makes sense (why Blofeld's plot was only aimed at UK?), what an overrated Bond novel. The film's plot at least was aimed worldwide, to make the stakes higher, hence more plausible and made more sense. The plots are disjointed in the book, the film at least connected these two by having Blofeld kidnapped Tracy. Great narration by Tenant though. And yes, this is coming from the one who really loves the movie version of this book. Top 5 or maybe even Top 3 Bond film! Mediocre Fleming Book!

I don't care what others say !
I liked George Lazenby ...!
Favorite Bond Book, Movie and Bond actor ( Lazenby)
Great post, thanks...I doubt seriously that there will ever be a better reader of this novel...
But sad ending
Life is unfair!
Well actually the reader mispronounces a Lot of French words..
Ursula Andres, brilliant!
I read this book in high school and loved it.The movie with George Lazenby stayed pretty close to it.
After 3 years off TH-cam.. the OHMSS audiobook is back!!!
Sheeeit yeah! Sheeeit yeah!
One of my favourite Bond movie lines : " yes , I do feel a
slight stiffness coming on.... "
Perfect lines for Roger Moore... 🥴
The film really did follow the book closely!
THANKS FOR THE UPLOAD! One of my favorites of the Fleming novels.
The final battle between Bond and Blofeld in you only live twice I thought was a great ending to this story arch.
Probably the best Bond v Blofeld fight outta everything books and films
@@audiobookgold6717 I agree. YOLT is actually my 3rd favorite Bond novel (right behind OHMSS and FRWL)
@@joedec I heard the novel gets some flack for being a travelogue of Japan. I didn't mind it. Plus the castle of death and ending are great

Who is this wonderful narrator? I was searching for readings by David Monteath and this book popped up - I'm happy it did. Thank you for the upload.
Can't help sorry
Sounds like Simon Vance
It's David rintoul
It is Simon Vance
simon vance aka robert whitfield
Beautiful bookcover!
Favorite bond film, lets see if the book is better
Both are good, but I like the screen play better, as it expands on the book.
@@lylux4985Yes. Especially keeping Tracy in the film and
having the barn scene
Just finished. Thank you so very much. By chance, do you happen to have the last book in this trilogy, you only live twice?
Will be uploading YOLT this week. I really loved Blofeld's hideout in Japan and the final battle
YOLT is up
My favorite Bond novel
On Her Majesty's Secret Service movie is one of my favourite James Bond movies. Have yet to read the book. I read that movie was faithful to the book not sure if that is true.
I'd say FRWL and Majesty's films are faithful adaptations of the novels. And about 50% of the Casino Royale
@@audiobookgold6717 And the majority of Goldfinger as well
@@joedec Awe good find
Dr No is probably the most faithful adaptation in the series.. the only thing missing is some spiders, an octopus and death by guano.
Thank you..
5:05:25 Tracy found James while skiing
5:24:15 James wants to marry Tracy
Still listening ❤❤️❤️
4:53:40. I was sure that the next line would be “and kiss your ass goodbye”!
I say, dear chap, the name is Bond… James Bond.
2.10 at least the Swiss cope well with the "beatnik" problem says M! We could use some of that policing right now
the best of the Bond series..the only one that was anywhere believable or had a point to it
Totally agree.
Bedtime listening ❤️

The lengths people go to hide their gayness, lmao

I've heard they sent prostitutes to his hotel.
BS
The fact you believe that as true is sad...
Damn that woman on the cover is my ideal play mate.
Beautiful reading voice ❤
They better not delete these up loads. 70th. Anniversary there re writing all the bond books edited racial or offensive material will be removed...

Were you paying attention to commonly used phrases in the early 1960s?
Is that a synchro phone in your pocket, or…?

What?
Why would blowfeld go to all that trouble with the girls and not just apply the goods himself
And why just girls? Why not random citizens? And why he's only aiming against UK? Doesn't makes sense to me.
Why not?
@@jammontgomery2320The film improved on this plot point by giving Blofeld a motive and having girls from many countries . Do not want to spoil it
@@brucemarshall3446 Agreed, watched the film many times, I liked how it widened the plot to all around the world and holding it for ransom, raising the stakes more, and Blofeld's motivation behind the plot too.

Nice, but I can't quite picture a woman with that voice.
I know, it sounds like the same dude doing all the voices 😮
Relentless advertising- avoid
I like most of his Bond novels but this one doesn't do it for me.

This Book is way too overrated! But a very underrated film!
Tracy is the weakest Bond Girls in the books, weepy, bipolar, immature and childish, having tantrums, self pitying, and needy, not worthy of Bond's proposal, wished that Bond just dumped this Bond Girl somewhere, she's annoying.
Diana Rigg's version is a vast improvement and miles better, in fact, she's my favorite Bond Girl in the films, tough, witty, had an inner fire and warmth in her, headstrong and not easily turned by Bond's charm, she's also playful.

The plot doesn't makes sense (why Blofeld's plot was only aimed at UK?), what an overrated Bond novel.
The film's plot at least was aimed worldwide, to make the stakes higher, hence more plausible and made more sense.
The plots are disjointed in the book, the film at least connected these two by having Blofeld kidnapped Tracy.
Great narration by Tenant though.
And yes, this is coming from the one who really loves the movie version of this book.
Top 5 or maybe even Top 3 Bond film!
Mediocre Fleming Book!
Britain still thought of itself a world power in the early Sixties😂.
They explained why the germ warfare wouldn't work in America
George Lazenby is 84 wont have long to live.
