SilverFin (Young Bond)

Product Information

Because Fleming never explicitly said when James Bond was born, Ian Fleming Publications and Charlie Higson chose the year 1920 as his birth year. SilverFin takes place in 1933. Fleming: "The scent and smoke and sweat of a casino are nauseating at three in the morning" Higson: "The smell and noise and confusion of a hallway full of schoolboys can be quite awful at twenty past seven in the morning." Silverfin is a young adult spy novel by Charlie Higson based on Ian Fleming's famous character James Bond. The book, which follows James Bond as a teenager in the 1930s, inspired a series of graphic novel adaptations, video games, and a travel guide. Silverfin, the first book in the series, is followed by Blood Fever, Double or Die, Hurricane Gold, and By Royal Command. There are also two supplementary books: a travel guide, The Young Bond Rough Guide to London, and Danger Society: The Young Bond Dossier, essentially a guidebook to the world of Young Bond.

One thing about this category, is that it's interesting to view the perspective of the illustrator, how they saw the image of the book in their mind, although I can't mark them down if the tree I imagined had brown leaves instead of dark green leaves, as I have not read the actual book. Bond's Aunt Charmian drives an identical Bentley to one Bond drives in Casino Royale and in subsequent books. Bond also inherits his uncle's 1.5 liter Bamford & Martin Sidevalve Short Chassis Tourer. Bamford & Martin later became Aston Martin. o APA citation: Higgson, H. & Walker, K. (2008). Silverfin: A James Bond adventure. New York, NY: Hyperion Books. Something new I learnt from this book is NEVER be a spy just like the quote, because if you do, you will probably, get Eel serum injected to your body, have a narrow escape from flesh peeling eels, nearly get shot in the face by a double barrel shotgun, and experience a narrow escape from a purple eyed beast who ( SPOILER ALERT SO DON"T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU, OK?! ) kills the evil possessed madman.

Ini adalah James Bond jaman muda, jadi masih remaja gitu deeehh. Dia sekolah di ETON, kek asrama gitu. Nah disana dia ketemu ama seorang anak orang kaya yang suka nge-bullies. Biasa deh di semua sekolah kan juga ada tuh yang sok kuat, sok kaya, sok populer. Bisanya cuma ngegencet anak baru, adik kelas gitu. Gw jadi inget dulu temen gw pernah di gencet kakak kelas karena cowok yang ditaksirnya malah naksir temen gw. Idiihhh, norak ya? Para bullies itu setelah dewasa sadar gak sih kalo mereka dulu nyebelin? (hehe jadi curhat) Lord Hellebore arrives at Eton to fund and stage a three-part athletic tournament, which he intends his son, George, to win. The competition has three heats: swimming, running, and shooting. Lord Hellebore helps George cheat in various events, particularly the foot race, where he plans shortcuts for his son. James, noticing that George has an alternate route, follows him, using his speed to overtake him and win the race. George tries to trip James but fails. Ultimately, Andrew Carlton, another student is the winner of the tournament, which deeply disappoints Lord Hellebore.
