Casino Royale by Ian Fleming, 213 pages
Ian Fleming has a style of writing that not only drags you
into the books; it also makes you understand them. A perfect example of this is
the card game baccarat. Before I read this book the only thing I knew about
baccarat was that it is a card game. But through Fleming’s description and by
having Bond play through a couple hands in the book, I now have a fundamental
knowledge of the game.
The one thing that I disliked about the book compared to the
movie is the portrayal of Bond. I was expecting a smooth, ladies’ man but
instead got a chauvinistic agent whose job comes before all else. Since Fleming
was writing in the 50’s I guess it makes sense but it is hard to imagine the
Bond on the screen today saying women belong in the kitchen.
Another observation I had is; why do many action heroes/secret
agents have the initials JB. Off the top of my head I can think of James Bond,
Jason Bourne and Jack Bauer. Is there a reason for this?
Another JB spy: Jack Bristow (from Alias)
