 | | On the whole,Colonel Sun is an excellent Fleming pastiche,it's only weakness being that it doesn't maintain it's brilliant opening momentum,it drags toward the middle of the story,and most unfortunately,after a superb beginning,has a rather anticlimactic climax.On the whole,however,this book is filled with wonderful moments.Too bad Amis didn't try his hand at another Bond or two... |
 | | The beach setting represents the novel's locations in Greece and on Colonel Sun's island; and the all-seeing eye where the sun should be, of course, is Col. Sun himself--who orchestrates all the events in the novel. |
 | | It's been a while since I've read Colonel Sun but I think that parts of the plot and the overall theme of the novel were the basisis of DAD. |
