Bond, James Bond
Just read Casino Royale, never seen the film, and never read a Bond book before.

WOW....what a difference in reading the books vs watching a typical Bond movie.

It was 140 pages, was damn boring until like page 70. No spy gadgets, a bit of action, and of course a "Bond Girl", but wow....nothing like what I was expecting. I wonder if the Gardner or Benson books are any different. I did buy Live and Let Die and converted from .azw to .epub, and I think I'll like them now that I know what to expect.

But wow....perhaps this may be an instance where the movies are better than the books?
