0017 Book Review Casino Royale (1953) Part III
Tyler and Don come to the end of Ian Fleming’s first James Bond novel, Casino Royale (1953). In a series of three podcasts they try to leave no stone unturned. This final part 3 covers chapters 19 - 27 and we find Bond recovering in a French nursing home, under the tender loving care of British nurse Gibson. After Bond is brought up-to-date with current affairs by René Mathis, he goes on passionate leave with Vesper at 'Trou sur mer'. While Bond is (re)discovering both his own body and thoughts, he also finds out Vesper has a very dark secret. Bitch. So... where do you best hide cheques? What happens if villains and heroes get all mixed up? And what the hell is wrong with regular pyjamas?
