I don't think I'd be a fan of the books, lol! <br /><br />Great review, as always, Okie.Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07477498671080132176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401276.post-72046902570589472422011-07-28T18:15:34.659-06:002011-07-28T18:15:34.659-06:00Cool review.

I read the short story Quantum of Solace in the last yearish... and while the characters sound like tehy are a little better devoloped than Casino Royale-its isn't a thing like the movie either.nephite blood spartan hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17092519999184585295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401276.post-3207254572703937342011-07-28T14:03:09.328-06:002011-07-28T14:03:09.328-06:00I actually read many, if not all, of Ian Fleming&#...I actually read many, if not all, of Ian Fleming's James Bond novels and besides the title and a few character names they have very little to do with the movies.<br /><br />That being said, they are very good on their own. Very dark, moody with great stories and shades of grey. Bond isn't any better than the villains, simply on the other side.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.ManOfLaBook.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.ManOfLaBook.com</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401276.post-11299963156589077462011-07-28T08:02:37.356-06:002011-07-28T08:02:37.356-06:00I rather enjoyed your review, thank you!

Casino Royale has been hands down my favorite of the Bond movies so far, so it feels appropriate to start with that book first. :)Michelle D.
