4.0

Listened to the audiobook narrated by David Tennant and honestly that man could read a phonebook and I'd give it at least 4 stars... but this was actually a very fun listen and my very first Bond book, which is out of order since it's one of the last written. 007 has a lot more internal dialogue we don't get with the on screen version, which is sad because it makes him a much more well-rounded character. My only thing was trying to follow along with all the French like Fleming just assumes we all know it, and whatever complex card game they were gambling on. He definitely likes to prove that he knows a lot about classy, high brow things.
