Unlike the movies, you get to see a more personal side of Bond. He's still incredibly suave, cool, and collected, but he's much more of a character than he is in the films. I read this book by listening to the audiobook. It was narrated by Dan Stevens of Downton Abbey fame. His Bond voice was perfect, and he handled all of the different accents with ease. He was a great choice for this book. I hope he ends up narrating more audiobooks.
For such a small book this novel had a lot of fun scenes full of great spying, gambling, car chases, and deadly encounters. If you're like me and you've never read a James Bond novel before, I'd say this is a great one to start with. It's short, it's entertaining, and it's the first one so it's an obvious choice.
