Recently, I heard a bit of news about 007. Ian Fleming is the author of James Bond’s story. Fleming died in 1964, and the new 007 thriller, Devil May Care, is written by Sebastian Faulks.
To many people, 007 is not simply a sequence of numbers, a code, a nickname, but a legendary symbol. James Bond has built unique personal styles in readers’ or audience’s minds; though, he is only a fictional character. His charisma, quick-wit, cool-headed judgment, and stunning actions impress people a lot. Bond is always with beauties and wines around, and with novel technologies—cars, weapons…etc. However, in Fleming’s story, Bond is left brainwashed. On the occasion of Fleming’s birth anniversary, the new book of 007 might bring a different light to this popular character and a new delight to readers.
It is quite a challenge to continue this popular and legendary story of James Bond. Nevertheless, Faulks reviews Fleming’s books and writes the story for only six weeks. The story is packed with dangers and actions. People might expect the excitement of the plot and indulge in the thrill with faster and faster heart beats.
007 is a legendary figure as similar as Superman and Batman…etc. Through decades, the mass still enjoy the exciting tactics, fighting, and rescuing in the stories of heroes. No matter how impossible the heroes might be, people can free themselves in limitless imagination. Those stories have become a part of memories of our past young ages, and they continue to survive and evolve in the years to come. To our gladness, James Bond is coming back. With a new hope, let’s wait for another saga of Bond and another vodka martinis “shaken, not stirred”.

honestly, i never seen an 007 movie. to me, yes, it is a legend. however, a rather unfamiliar legend. hero and saga have always been an essense to literature, both in western aulture and eastern culture. some enternal super hero like Superman is unchangable; however, if sometimes there is some other tales that are different from the original version, people might have greater interests in knowing them.
