I read the books, all of them. They are substantially different than the movies. When I discovered the they weren't the same, I didn't see very many more of the movies.  :DntKnw:

The books are infinitely better than the movies, that is for sure.  Under Moore the films became far more whimsical, little nods at 'Britishness' and outlandish technological ideas.  The great thing about Casino Royale was that it felt more like the vision of Bond from the books that I remembered (minus the recipes for scrambled eggs).  It was more visceral and lacked the over the top nature of how the franchise had gone since Moore (don't get me wrong, I liked Moore, I enjoy all the Bond movies to an extent) and Craig talked about keeping that way.  Then the in jokes started and the tech crept in.

I only read one Bond book, and it wasn't a Fleming book.  I didn't realize that they had let other authors write Bond.

The book was good enough, but I read it in the early 90s, and don't remember much about it.  I'm not a huge fan of the 'spy novel' genre.
