The tension throughout the book was high. At first, I was thinking… how is this book going to be interesting at all? I don’t know anything about gambling, I’ve never really explored spy type books… Yet, I was glued to the pages! I gasped at a few parts, smiled and even sat bolt upright. So, I picked up Casino Royale and read it in just a few days.

I still consider one of the best games ever made. My first exposure to James Bond was the Nintendo 64 game, Goldeneye. I never really thought I’d read a James Bond novel, but some friends of mine are always raving about the spy 007. OVERALL THOUGHTS: I was absolutely thrilled with Casino Royale. He’s got two loyal body guards and evil side to him. He isn’t in the the best of shape, when it comes to both finances and health.

Le Chiffre: The financial paymaster of a French workman’s union, controlled by a Russian organization known as Smersh.

He takes risks, unintentionally he lets his guard down, making him vulnerable. He takes his job very seriously, it’s a mater of life or death in the occupation as spy. James Boned: He’s 007, a double O agent of the SIS, Secret Intelligence Service of England. With this victory, the funds of Smersh will be limited, and in turn they will kill off Le Chiffre.ĭoes Bond pull off a win at the Casino?
