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. As an avid movie watcher, I enjoyed this spectacular graphic novel! Since I have watched almost every 007 movie, I was definitely not let down. Not only did the author successfully integrate the Bond we know and love, but he was also able to develop a new and interesting plot. I loved it when James encountered the biggest danger of all but was soon saved by the most unexpected hero of them all. Plus, Red constantly provided a witty sense of humor, a characteristic that made him my favorite character. Even though the main plot of the story was intriguing, the several side-plots (e.g.. the Hellebore Cup, a race that took up much of Part I) were hard to follow and in the end, unnecessary. Despite the confusing subplots, I still highly recommend Silverfin to anyone who enjoys graphic novels, adventure-filled books, or just loves James Bond (like I do).

Ian Fleming's impression of James Bond, drawn by an unknown artist (it would seem that out of all the movie Bonds, Pierce Brosnan is the closest to what Fleming envisaged.
