On reverse gluttony: "The person who to keep a slim figure damages her health by eating too little is guilty of mortal sin." On competitive gluttony: "It is a sin to take part in a competition where the winner is the one who eats or drinks most." On drinking: "'Perfect drunkenness' is definitely listed among mortal sins.

The invasion-threatened British were often funny in the way in which a man, scrambling out of mortal danger, sometimes forgets his pants, and the Germans achieved heights of sinister absurdity. These facts, in focus with Fleming's sharp eye, make sprightly reading of what would otherwise be simply a well-organized and well-informed piece of contemporary narrative...
