This is NOT the suave James Bond we know and love. No cool spy stuff, no outrageous sexytimes, just a dull as shit card game.Īnd the second half was James getting his ass thoroughly beaten, only escaping death by sheer dumb luck. He's definitely an ass, so this isn't a book you should hand to your son with an emulate this guy wink.īut what I had forgotten was that the first half of this (rather short) book was mostly just a card game. I remembered being aware that he wasn't the most forward-thinking chap when it came to women after I first read this book, and the passing of 13 years hasn't made him look any better.
