Includes information on appearance, eating and drinking and cars, as well as his vices - smoking and gambling.

So begins Ian Fleming's Casino Royale, first published in April 1953 and the start of James Bond's literary career. Although critised at the time for "sex, sadism and snobbery", the books of Ian Fleming feature a more complex character than found in the films and are full of detail and vivid imagination. | | Category: | | Pagerank: | 3 | | Link Owner: | David Leigh | | Date Added: | October 02, 2006 09:36:22 AM | | Number Hits: | 1 |
