I really loved this book. It was actually better than I expected. It surprised me how closely the Daniel Craig film stuck to the book. I love how Craig's Bond picked up on his characterisation as not wanting to get emotionally involved, but then falling in love and getting compromised by falling in love, and then that turning into a cold emotionless killer. Craig really carries off the mix of emotionlessness with a slight sheen of scary anger.

It could have done without someof the casual racism and sexism though.
