What is the author's style in The Man with the Golden Gun by Ian Fleming?

the novel's structure gives the clear sense of fulfilling the author's intent to write a fast moving, action packed narrative. In particular, the novel's structure fills the need for suspense, essential in novels of this genre. As short, action-filled chapter follows a short similar chapter, many chapters end on a high point of mystery, the posing of intriguing, danger filled questions.

Ultimately, the book's structure follows a practice established in this and other sorts of books that fall under the category of "popular fiction", in which formula and/or familiarity (of author, character, structure, narrative style, perhaps at times even of plot) are as much a factor in reader appeal as the story itself. This is not necessarily a negative, in that it's perfectly valid for a book to function as entertainment and/or escape as it is for it to be enlightening, informative, or thought-provoking—and in the realm of narrative there's little that's as encouraging to a safe escape than that which is familiar, or known to be safe.
