A review by harlando
Casino Royale by Ian Fleming

4.0

This is the first bond novel I have read. I’ve seen a few of the movies and am favourably impressed by this book. It has aged well. Maybe not as well as Raymond chandler, but it remains engaging and readable after more than 70 years.

I am Fleming was a heavy drinker, but I find myself wondering, did people really drink like Bond in the 50s? He puts away an amazing amount of booze.
