Oddjob is the same as cool (and dangerous) henchman in the book as he is in the movie.
It was good to see that the character of Tilly Masterson has a longer role in the book than in the movie, and also due her relationship to Pussy Galore, becoming a more interesting character in the book. And finally presenting “Pussy Galore”, one of the “Bond Girls” with one of the names most remembered by the audience (for obvious reasons) but also, if “Pussy” was a memorable character on the movie due being portraited by Honor Blackman (getting previous fame on the British TV series “The Avengers), on the book she is certainly one of the most complicated and unusual kind of “Bond Girl” ever, she isn’t just “somehing shining” in the scenario, but a relevant character in the story, with an important role in the plot, but also with an unexpected interaction with James Bond making her certainly unique in the long list of female characters attached to the “Bond Girls’ List”.
Also, it’s presented the (now famous) Austin Martin DB5 (on the novel it’s an Austin Martin Mark III, that I guess was the latest model at the time of the publishing of the book) starting a legacy of cool cars with techno-gadgets. In the movie is re-introduced the musical theme from Dr. The Bond movies weren’t produced in the same order of the books, so Goldfinger while was the seventh book, it was the third movie, but definitely, besides being my favorite movie of the “Connery Era”, it was a crucial one to ensure turning the movie into a saga. I liked that while both format have many similitudes, both are enough different to justify the reading and giving a great experience while doing it. I have watched A LOT of times the film of the same name, and finally I was able to read the original novel. Goldfinger is the seventh (007) novel in the series of James Bond original books, and you won’t be mistaken how relevant this story is, in the middle of the legacy of the most famous secret agent in literatura (and movies). Also, defining how the story in general is evolving in its own development.
This quote from the novel is quite relevant, since Goldfinger, the book, is separated in three parts precisely named after the terms: “Happenstance”, “Coincidence” and “Enemy Action”, describing the interaction between James Bond and Auric Goldfinger, respectively protagonist and antagonist in the story. Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, the third time it’s enemy action.
