A new Anthony Horowitz Bond novel... (Page 8 of 9)

I've bought the paperback edition of Forever and a Day at my local Waterstones. It's just the paperback edition, but better than nothing. Plus, it was half price at £7.00. 

It's the 31st of May and neither of my sisters has asked me what I want for my birthday. I'm only human -  I broke down and ordered "Forever and a day" on Amazon. 

Sure thing. It'll take a couple weeks for my contact in Britain to get the book shipped.

I just checked my pre-order on Amazon.  It was not scheduled to be released in the USA until November 6. 

I was able to order the UK version for $4 more and should receive it June 15th.

Perhaps it could be a trade paperback? I'm not sure about the UK, but here in South Africa virtually all new books come out as trade paperbacks, which are pretty much just the same pages as the hardback, but with a soft cover. Unfortunately we get very little hardback fiction here so I always have to import the latest Bond novel from the UK because I want hardback. On this occasion I luckily have an uncle travelling from the UK to South Africa so I should have a signed hardback copy of Forever and a Day sometime next week.

damnation and disease!
I just checked Indigo's website (Canada's big bookstore monopoly) and it also shows the release date as Nov 6th. So much for the Commonwealth, we used to have WH Smith and PAN paperbacks, now we're stuck with the same second class release date as our American neighbours. Did my ancestors fight on the losing side of the Revolutionary War for nothing?

Paperback and hardcover indeed released the same day (and paperback isn't much cheaper).
So you lucky British folk aren't allowed to spoil the story for another six months, thank you.

I won't get the book until next weekend or so, but others will  be finished soon. Could the first to post a proper review please make a "spoiler reviews"  thread? 

starting a dedicated Forever and a Day Review thread (complete with Spoilers) is a good idea
I see there was a similar splitting of threads for Trigger Mortis
(and that review thread was started by Special Agent 24!)

but really I'm half-joking ... the books already out and I should know to quit reading this thread if I want my experience (in bloody November) to be fresh.
You folks now reading should be expressing your immediate undiluted opinions now, before any sort of mainstream consensus forms and unwittingly influences you. post your genuine review first and you can be the opinion-maker!

and if you want to discuss plot details here, you can always use spoiler tags

simply spell the word spoiler between square brackets before your plot revelations, and then /spoiler (ie with a forward slash) between square brackets, after your plot revelations, to return to normal text we all can see.
...or highlight your plot revelations and click one of the basic tag tools above, eg B for bold, then when you can see the bold tags, overwrite the letter b with the word spoiler.

and seriously, if I wanted to avoid spoilers, my ancestors should have thought about that before they decided to emigrate to the colonies 150 years ago.

It would be a good idea, yes.

Does anyone want to take responsibility for creating such a Review Thread for Forever and a Day?

Do we agree on the necessity such a thread?

Wow, now that was a bargain! 

Due to a tipoff from a Bond friend I was able to buy the first edition hardback of Forever and A Day for £10 in Asda. Now all I need is the Special Edition, which I'll order from the Waterstones website.

Yes I got a Waterstones copy (hardback) for £9.50 that has yellow edged pages and the "typewritten" Russian Roulette Fleming story
idea.   The ones in WH Smith and other bookshops don't have those two features.
Although in Toppings of Bath was the "plain" version but with a clear plastic wrapper for full price £19.

Is there really a paperback as well? I would've thought that would follow 6 months later?

I'm 70% through reading the story.  it's pretty good but will never have the travel experience and descriptions of Fleming.

Yes I hope Horowitz goes on to do several books.   I couldn't get a signed version but he's doing a bit of a signing tour in Scotland
and the North.   Nowhere near me in Bristol.

Bleuville.
