Alright I've got to end this. I could rant for hours but I won't. DO NOT RECOMMEND. STRONGEST ANTI-RECOMMENDATION.
In their guide The Bond Files, Andy Lane and Paul Simpson say Wood's novel "counts as a decent Bond novel in its own right, and is certainly more stylish than many of the later volumes." [8] With a director finally secured, the next hurdle to be overcome was finishing the script, which had gone through several rewrites by numerous writers. Additionally, the initial villain of the film was Ernst Stavro Blofeld, however, Kevin McClory, who owned the film rights to Thunderball, forced an injunction on EON Productions, delaying the film further. The villain would later be changed from Blofeld to Karl Stromberg so that the injunction could be lifted. Christopher Wood was later brought in by Lewis Gilbert to complete the script. Although Fleming had requested no elements from his original book be used, the novel features a thug named Sol Horror who is described as having steel capped teeth. This character would be the basis for Jaws, although having steel capped teeth is where the similarity between Horror and Jaws ends. Crichton, Brian (July 1978). "The chair that nearly got Bond". Motor Cycle Mechanics. Peterborough: EMAP National Publications Ltd. 22 (10): 26–27. If you know Sean Connery’s Bond, the Bond of the movies, could you believe a movie with Bond in iy might focus on the perspective of one of the women he meets? Maybe. Having read the novels, featuring Bond, the largely misogynist mouthpiece for the misogynist author (i.e., Pussy Galore, Octopussy, and so on), having heard Fleming’s Bond’s disdain for women (unless he can bed one of them for a short time, of course), can we imagine a successful Fleming novel from a woman’s perspective? Fleming's original novel was adapted as a daily James Bond comic strip which was published in the British Daily Express newspaper and syndicated around the world. The adaptation ran from December 18, 1967 to October 3, 1968. The adaptation was written by Jim Lawrence and illustrated by Yaroslav Horak. It was the last Ian Fleming work to be adapted as a comic strip, although the comic strip took great liberties with Fleming's novel, substituting a SPECTRE-related storyline involving Bond for the novel's autobiographical chapters involving Vivienne; the actual adaptation of the novel doesn't begin until the 2/3 point of the strip. The strip was reprinted by Titan Books in the early 1990s and again in 2004.

MOVIE UPDATE: Well, I must admit that I find all pre-Craig movies boring. I am just so bored. The movie has nothing in common with the book except for the title. The 'Bond girl' Anya was completely boring without personality or even many facial expressions. Her tone was flat and listless. Not that Moore's Bond is exactly a font of personality! The best thing I can say about it, and the only thing I enjoyed, is that Moore acts the gentleman. Even the villain was boring and forgettable in this movie. And they give Moore the cheesiest lines. I can't understand why any woman is sleeping with him, to be honest. I have no idea why she let Bond live in the end. It made no sense.
When Ian Fleming sold the film rights to the James Bond novels to Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Broccoli, he only gave permission for the title The Spy Who Loved Me to be used. Since the screenplay for the film had nothing to do with Fleming's original novel, Eon Productions, for the first time, authorised that a novelization be written based upon the script. According to Ian Fleming's literary agent Peter Janson-Smith, "We had no hand in [the Christopher Wood novelizations] other than we told the film people that we were going to exert our legal right to handle the rights in the books. They chose Christopher Wood because he was one of the screenwriters at the time, and they decided what he would be paid. We got our instructions on that, but from then on, these books-of-the-films became like any other Bond novel—we controlled the publication rights." [1]Richard Kiel as Jaws, Stromberg's seemingly indestructible juggernaut of a henchman, afflicted with gigantism and having a set of metal teeth. All women love semi-rape. They love to be taken. It was his sweet brutality against my bruised body that had made his act of love so piercingly wonderful.
No. Just no. Maybe there are a few, like one or two, female kinksters, who agree with the above sentiment expressed by the fictional narrator of this James Bond book, Vivienne Michel, created by a male author. But for the huge, HUGE majority of women, rape is a criminal act, prosecutable, damaging, hateful, a horrible abuse resulting in a lifetime of PTSD. Most women do NOT want to be taken, shaken, stirred or raped, against their will. Women are sentient people of rational flesh and blood, not a glass of alcohol. The henchmen who falls off the roof in Cairo is killed when he lands on top of a piano, a death Wood reused in the script for his next Bond film, Moonraker.

The film takes its title from Ian Fleming's 1962 novel The Spy Who Loved Me, the tenth book in the James Bond series, though it does not contain any elements of the novel's plot. The storyline involves a reclusive megalomaniac named Karl Stromberg, who plans to destroy the world and create a new civilisation under the sea. Bond teams up with a Soviet agent, Anya Amasova, to stop the plans, all while being hunted by Stromberg’s powerful henchman, Jaws. So much sex is in this book, and very, very little of it is even resembling consensual. The whole first third of the book is called "Me" and gives us all the history on our heroine, Viv Michel (Vivienne). Fleming, instead of describing her likes, dislikes, hobbies, personality, friends etc. - decides to give us an in detail rundown of her entire sexual history.
