The book features two very memorable villains, Goldfinger and Oddjob, which have become the classic stereotype of Cold War rogues like many of Fleming’s inventions.
The story is, of course, dated and some of it seem downright laughable or cringe worthy if not keeping in mind the attitudes at the times towards women and minorities. Goldfinger by Ian Fleming is another fun book in the series.
Publisher: Macmillan Publishing Co., Inc. The book’s original title was The Richest Man in the World, it was written in 1958 and published in 1959. In the book, Oddjob has a taste for cats as food, apparently acquired during a previous famine in Korea.Goldfinger by Ian Fleming is the seventh novel featuring James Bond, 007, agent of MI6, the British Secret Service. He tells Bond he has done so with four Mafia heads. In the book, Goldfinger is an expert pistol shot who never misses, and always shoots his opponents through the right eye. He gets to cool off with Honor Blackman n Shirley Eaton. In this one, Bond faces a sinister and sadist villain known as Goldfinger and his strong henchman, Oddjob, who kills people with his razor sharp hat. Quantum of Solace, includes an homage to the gold body paint death scene (inspired from this movie) by having a female character dead on a bed nude, covered in crude oil. It was also the first one where a Bond girl is killed. This was the first Bond movie to introduce the extensive use of technology and gadgets by Bond. During the investigation, Bond uncovers the gold magnate's sinister plan involving the United States Bullion Depository at Fort Knox. While vacationing in Miami Beach, Bond is directed by the MI6 n CIA to keep an eye on a bullion dealer Auric Goldfinger at the hotel there. This is the third installment in the Bond series n Connery reprises his role as James Bond for the third time. I first saw this in the late 80s on a vhs.
