After seeing the latest James Bond movie, I became very interested in reading the Bond novels that Ian Fleming wrote. Fleming's Bond is way different than the one seen in the movies. Daniel Craig's version comes closest to the spirit of the character that Fleming envisioned which is a man with a certain amount of ambivalence and roughness.
Casino Royale reads like a noir thriller. It is gritty and dark. Bond does not always prevail, and he has his doubts about his profession and his "friends." Like the movie, Bond must gamble to accomplish the financial ruin of a black market banker named Le Chiffre through the gaming tables at the Casino Royale. Things get ugly from there, and Bond is simultaneously rescued and betrayed.
Most people are not familiar with this Bond. They have grown accustomed to the cartoon of the movies. But you will like this Bond a lot more. I highly recommend this book for your summer reading.
