I'm currently listening to "Moonraker". Enjoying it quite a lot just because of that wonderful voice ... and Rufus actually had me screeching with laughter when he cursed in German (for those who speak German: "L.M.A.A."  ). Perfectly pronounced, by the way. |

Finished listening to Moonraker - really liked that one. I agree it is so funny to hear Rufus talking/swearing German, he did a great job  I had some laundry to do and thought I listen into The Spy who loved me - which is read by Samantha Bond and when you start listen to it it's obvious why Rufus didn't read that one as it is told from the perspective of a girl named Vivien Michel in 1st person. I couldn't stop listening to it - I did the laundry, cooked dinner and ate dinner. It is totally different, but kept me hooked for 3 hours and the last half hour is very sexy in some parts - so I could at least imagine Rufus as James Bond in that scenes  |

Listened to From Russia With Love yesterday, whilst ironing and then just sat relaxing listening to the marvellous different voices and accents of Rufus. I agree with you Zenina that some of these Bond stories are a bit boring especially the ones concerning card games but From Russia with Love is excellent. Such a good story and Rufus is absolutely excellent doing the different voices of Bond, M, the Russian Spy girl and the baddie, who has a northern Ireland accent, which Rufus does to perfection. He is so talented!! Absolutely loved it!  |

I quite agree. Now was Ian Fleming a little devil with those double entendres or have I just got a filthy mind ;D
I've just finished Doctor No and loved the Caribbean accent particularly the ladies voice.

Nell, I think your mind is just fine  . I finished Dr. No, and now bought "Goldfinger" and "From Russia with love". I actually have all Bond books in audio format, but read by another narrator. When I make the comparison with Rufus, the other version simply feels pale and plain. Bravo, Rufus! Isn't it time now for some other audio books to read for us?! |

Yeah, I remember this....
