Finished Carte Blanche. I hadn't read any other James Bond novels so can't compare it to them but have read most of what Jeffery Deaver has published.

Spoiler:
***SPOILER*** for Carte Blanche

It was an interesting read throughout but didn't rise to the level of, say, a Gabriel Allon thriller. It picked up considerably when Bond got to Dubai and got very interesting for a short while when Gregory Lamb was introduced. I had envisioned an entirely different role for him. His character was a major disappointment. Felicity was also a disappointment.


That being said, it is probably worth the read. Overall I would give it a ***+ rating. Above average but probably will not make my top 10 or 2011
