Goldfinger marks a turning point in the series...James Bond's character becomes more introspective as Fleming discloses his hero's thoughts more often, thus enabling the reader to dig deeper into Bond's feelings. -- Raymond Benson, author of High Time to Kill Goldfinger is the most preposterous specimen yet displayed in Mr. Fleming's museum of superfiends...Maniacally readable...excellent pieces of descriptive writing. -- Observer (London)
