Status Updates From Casino Royale (James Bond 007)

Bond makes some interesting points about ethics but I can’t get over his abysmal views on women. Also I’m still suspicious of Vesper and there’s another half hour left to go. 🧐

Not gonna lie, I did flip back to Bond’s torture scene in the Casino Royale movie for comparison. Bond in the novel is suitably battered and less quippy than Daniel Craig through the process 😅

What Bond really thinks of women is revealed when one of them gets herself “carelessly” kidnapped 😅

Ooh the high drama of escalating bets! And our first hidden gun gadget
