The is is the first in the long series of James Bond novels, written by ex-spy Ian Fleming. It was a pretty fun time. While Fleming had some insight into how things were done in the spy game, you can tell he was also turning the coolness up to ten, like he should. He was a spy. Spies are cool. Let's get it on.
Bond is the iconic hero, the eternal champion of the spy game. His cigarettes are custom-made at the store, and he smokes seventy of them a day. Before dinner he allows himself one drink, and it must be strong or he will send it back. He eats caviar and he's really good at gambling. Have I told you yet how I feel about gambling as a plot device?
While Bond isn't a nice guy by today's standards, if you can deal with that, I think you'd could really enjoy Casino Royale. Sometime this year I'm gonna have a sequels month, so expect to hear from me again about Live and Let Die.
