Getting very hard to choose at this point. I'm deducting points from Goldfinger as it's a rare example where the changes made for the film adaptation are almost all improvements.

Tough choices ahead, I don't think I've read moonraker. Goldfinger I thumbed through not all that long ago.

Moonraker is a little hard to get going but it is a classic. Classic Bond a Bond where he is so chivalrous its sad.

I like Moonraker because it set around the area I live in. In Goldfinger too I think Bond drives through the [place where I often go for a country walk!
I've just read FRWL again which has some really memorable characters.

I'm going to eliminate Goldfinger and give an extra point to FRWL, which means it's time for a points reset.
