by far my favorite bond book yet! there’s gambling, kidnapping, high speed car chases, torture, shoot-outs, and beautiful women. i was engrossed in the book from begining to end. wonderful!

wow, i like this book. i finally found a bond novel worthy of my attention. i actually feel caught up in the rush of the casino and think i would be a worthy baccarat player. could be the addict in me, but i even expressed my desire to go to foxwoods and play roulette.

I read this book about 15 years ago. During a time when I was really into Bond and I read all the original Ian Flemming books. It was great then. Great now. And even better after the movie. The movie “hollywooded” up the story, but Flemming is still fresh and enjoyable. It has a certain sort of 60’s innocense that the movie lacks. I love it and rate it 3 of 5 stars.
