The Property of a Lady: 2/5
This one flows pretty good, but it overall is just a slice of Bond/day-in-the-life. Compared to the last one, there is just the right amount of backstory. In the end, Bond is told what will happen, and it certainly happens just like that; the ending is so predictable that a character even spelled it out.

The Living Daylights: 3.5/5
A good short story that explores more of Bond as a character; facing some sort of moral dilemma when his target is someone he fancies. I remember this movie well, so this is a good example of how the movie can expand on the source material.

Octopussy: 1.5/5
Much like one of the other short stories from the other collection, this one frames Bond as something of a passerby who interacts with the central character. A good few pages is spent on the backstory leading to where Bond finds this person. Essentially, Bond only serves to move the story along rather than actively participate in it.
