By jeannie_brim on Monday, November 10, 2008 - 11:22 am: Edit Post"It was on Jamaica that Fleming wrote more than a dozen novels and short stories featuring Agent 007. Of these once best-selling volumes of action pulp, “Dr. No,” “Live and Let Die,” “The Man With the Golden Gun” and the short story “Octopussy” are largely or partly set in Jamaica, and the films based on the first two were also shot there."
I guess I should have clarified. I have seen the movies but never read the books, and books are always better than the movies.

FYI...Bond is not nearly the misogynist in the books that he is in the movies. He is quite charming.
