Kind of sexist, but I look at it as Ian Fleming was an actual double agent, and some of them may be that way towards women. I don’t condone it or support it, makes the building romance unrealistic. But I do want to read a spy novel as much of a fan as I am of the movies. Art≠artist. What if Casino Royale had no author? But greatly intrigued with the richer context of the book.

It’s so hard to put down this spy novel. I would never get anything else accomplished if I read all day. Ian Fleming is that addictive. Though his sexism is problematic, Ernest Hemingway had similar issues. Would these stories exist without their authors? Wonderful little details and insights that give so much life to life. James Bond faces the physical and real evil of dirty money.
