Casino Royale
Casino Royale was the first of the bond books. It was strange compared to modern day Bond. It was strangely oddly old fashioned and really never had much action in it. It involved Bond going on an assignment which involved card games. He was trying to bankrupt a Russian Smersh agent. Smersh is a Russian spy killing agency if you didn’t know. When Bond was succesful at winning it, one of his assistants, Vesper was captured. I’ll let you find the ending for yourself. I would r ate this book as one star. it may be Bond, but it is to boring. It managed to make me get to sleep every night. It could bore anyone to death if they want to read the thrills of Bond. Help! I hate just thinking about it. I do NOT want to see the movie. Rating: 1 / 5
I had some change in my pocket and I was passing a bookstore and decided to go in for a look. I had every intention of buying a book and when I saw a number of James Bond books in a row, I decided to buy Casino Royale as the reviews on the back were rather convincing. I read 2 chapters… I find it difficult to …enjoy such a boring, pointless in some parts, story. Rating: 2 / 5
Bought the book after seeing the movie, book from the 50’s movie in the 2006 time frame. Rating: 3 / 5
Fleming’s first Bond book, and my last. They are not awful, just too slight and inconsequential to be worth reading, and I suspect bear little relation to the movies made from them. Rating: 2 / 5
This was a great book to start the series off with. Then comes LIVE AND LET DIE what another great one. If you think the bond books is great you should read “The Chronicles of GIS” another great spy book series-i can’t wait for the next sequal!!!!!!!! Rating: 5 / 5
