On New Year's Day, I was poking around the Internet to see if there were any new reviews of the book.

To my delight, I came across a new one in the Journal of Caribbean Ornithology, written by Steven C. Latta, Director of Conservation and Field Research for the National Aviary in Pittsburgh.

Since the real James Bond has been synonymous with that region's ornithology since the 1930s, the review has a special meaning to me.

The webpage "Donovan's Bookshelf" named "The Real James Bond" one of its prime picks last month.

Here's a sample:

The Real James Bond: A True Story of Identity Theft, Avian Intrigue, & Ian Fleming is a 'must' read for any fan of the Bond movies or writer Ian Fleming's creation, offering an intriguing real story of an ornithologist whose life mimicked Bond's world, in many ways....

The Real James Bond is an outstanding survey of these events and is a thoroughly engrossing read packed with color photos throughout. It will interest not just Bond and Fleming fans, but science and nature history enthusiasts.
