Reviews
An exhilarating tightrope of a tale that's also just retro enough to conjure the original books. . . . Boyd adroitly captures the postcolonial atmosphere of West Africa with a Graham Greene-like eye for detail. . . . Boyd has rendered his Bond perfectly., A light, slick, sinuous adventure. . . . Though Boyd's iteration of the character owes something to Graham Greene's moral melancholy, Fleming's Bond remains recognizable. So does the excellent pacing: Solo feels so quick that it could already be a movie., A perfectly judged narrative tempo . . . . The action is expertly plotted. . . . Solo 's true literary craft lies in the subtlety of its correspondences and also the suspenseful quality that keeps us on our toes until the closing pages. Mission accomplished., The Prose of Boyd Is Frankly Superior to That of Fleming. . . . a Bloody Good Thriller. a Triumph., Boyd has immersed himself in the character, the author and his oeuvre and come up with an adventure that's triumphantly the equal of the great Bond adventures. . . . A brilliant imitation that's occasionally superior to the prototype., Solo never fails to keep the reader on the edge of his chair. . . . Boyd is a brilliant storyteller and the interwoven plots and surprises of Solo are often superior to Fleming's own narrative stunts., A compulsively readable thriller, replicating the cocktail of ingredients that got Fleming's readers hooked and yet to let the cracks in the fantasy figure show through. A thoroughly rewarding, entertaining and ultimately thought provoking fix., Breathtaking. . . . Boyd manages to enrich and refresh a character we thought we knew too well. . . . A terrific twisting thriller. . . . A tremendous Bond story., Solo includes faint echoes of Joseph Conrad, whose stories of adventure, intrigue and espionage are deeply infused with a sense of moral inquiry and consequence. . . . A Bond novel but also a Boyd one, with richer and deeper concerns coursing alongside the Flemingesque flourishes that should keep fans satisfied, as well., More than half a century on, Boyd proves that there are plenty of pages left in 007's passport. I doubt his creator could have done it better., Boyd brings back the real Bond, triumphantly. . . . A formidable literary achievement. . . . It succeeds wonderfully., Boyd's prose is crisp and clean, and the story fairly ricochets through its twists and turns as Bond zips from London to Africa and on to the US. Fans of the original Fleming novels will find much to enjoy.
