I have loved the James Bond films since I was a kid and my grandad used to let me stay up late on Wednesdays to watch them on TV. So I thought it was about time I read one of the books!
Casino Royale is a relatively short and easy read. A few of the gambling descriptions had me baffled but you didn’t really need the full knowledge, just the gist, so I got by.
This book sees the introduction of Vesper Lynd, my favourite Bond girl in the films. So much so I named a beloved cat after her 🐈⬛
We watch as Bond and Vesper become close, and he starts to open up to the possibility of love. Then her betrayal at the end comes and I wonder whether he’ll ever open up to anyone again.
I may or may not read other Bond books 🤷🏼♀️ this one was free on audible.
