Moonraker

I finally just finished this I know its been awhile; overall I didn’t find this outing of James Bond as enjoyable as the previous title.  That being said I do think that Moonraker has a plot that is worthy of the darker tone that the Bond franchise has taken with Daniel Craig in the staring role.  The villain Hugo Drax is similar to that of Silva in Skyfall by instigating a terrorist attack on England for its participation in WWII against the Nazi’s is a highly relevant plot due to the events of the last decade.  Again if the movie had stuck more to the source material there is no denying that this would have been an instant classic.  There is a level of tension felt in this book unlike the previous title where the reader along with Bond has mixed feelings about Hugo Drax in one chapter you admire this character & in the next you loath him; this cycle repeats throughout most of the book.  The ending is somewhat anti-climactic considering the great build up throughout the book.
