American fantasy author, Jeannine Frost, best known for her work on the New York Times best selling Night Huntress, has an insight into why men adore James Bond. “The appeal of paranormal bad boy or James Bond superspy, as one example of male escapism. This can sometimes make everyday problems seem less dire. Thus, a few hours spent immersed in the world of the wicked yet alluring hero is the equivalent of a mini vacation.” 

I was planning to indulge in my “mini-vacation” during the weekend. With the release of Daniel Craig’s latest Bond Movie, Spectre, I could not wait for my "escapism", as I grew up watching my spy hero. Of course, fans of Bond would have realised Spectre is actually an acronym (Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion) of an international criminal organisation, first featured in Ian Fleming’s 1961’s Thunderball. I don't really care much about Spectre, the criminal organisation nor its intention to conquer the world.
