The Book

The Spy Who Loved Me book is a clear departure from the previous Bond books of Ian Fleming, in that Bond is not the central character. Instead the central character and narrator is Vivienne Michel, a young British woman who has ended up running a cheap motel in the Adirondack Mountains to pay for a trip through America. The first section of the novel deals with her sheltered yet unhappy past; the second with the danger she encounters in the motel, and the third with her rescue by a mysterious stranger (Bond on his way back from a mission).

The Movie

The Spy Who Loved Me movie starred Roger Moore as James Bond and Barbara Bach. Its plot bears no relation at all to the book.

The film is best know for the introduction of Jaws, an giant and indestructable assassin with steel teeth, played by Richard Keil who is the only privileged henchman of James Bonds' villains to appear in more than one film.
