Casino Royale-First Time

Read Casino Royale for the first time. Definitely like the movie better. I'm still looking forward to reading the rest.

    One of the great joys of watching Casino Royale in 2006 was that it was the only opportunity I've ever had of watching an adaptation of a Fleming novel after having previously read the book.

    It is a great novel, definitely one of the strongest in the Bond canon. And while I certainly think the film adaptation is excellent, nothing beats the original Bond novel. I hope you will enjoy reading the rest of the Bond series. There are are some excellent literary Bond adventures in store for you.

    :)) To younger readers, it could Seem a little old fashioned these days, but has to be seen
    As a slice of history. Basically Britain in the 50s. Oddly enough that's one of my personal
    Loves of the Fleming books, that step back in time. -{

    I'm old, so I've had that pleasure before. I loved seeing FYEO for that reason.

    It's the same for me really. Reading Casino Royale and Moonraker really is like taking a step back in time, and is all the more appealing for it. -{

    Not even close. They didn't do Mathis wrong in the book, the torture scene traumatizes Bond, and they made up the first hour of the movie!
