Book Reviews of Casino Royale (James Bond Novels)
Book Review: There's Only One Ian Fleming
Summary: 5 Stars
007's first assignment takes him to the French seaside resort of Royale-Les-Eaux where SMERSH paymaster LeChiffre is attempting to replace embezzled organisation funds by winning at baccarat. James Bond must, literally, beat the man at his own game. With the help of CIA agent Felix Leiter and the beautiful Vesper Lynd, Bond cleans LeChiffre out. But he has to face a terrible reckoning...One of the most impressive debut novels ever, fifty years after it was published, 'Casino Royale' still grips like a vise. Fleming draws the reader into a vividly described world of spies, murder, seduction and betrayal. Not a word is wasted. His genius for storytelling, combined with an ability to paint incredible word pictures, made the Bond books the legend they are. All the basic ingredients of the Bond mythos are here; a dangerous mission, a series of attempts on our hero's life, a diabolical villain and a beautiful girl in peril. Bond's initial disdain at being partnered with a woman gradually turns to respect and then finally love. But there's a shock in store for 007. The famous torture scene has lost none of its impact. I wouldn't swap one page of 'Casino Royale' for all the John Gardner and Raymond Benson 'imitations' put together. A landmark in spy fiction.
