I loved Casino Royale.
I didn't even mind the non-stop, no-story action of Quantum of Solace the first time I saw it. I thought Daniel Craig was an interesting Bond, he'd obviously decided he wasn't going to ham it up; just play it straight and tough and I appreciate that in a secret agent.
However, I've been reading Thunderball, the James Bond story that introduces his nemesis Blofeld and all I can say is that the book Bond is an infinitely more interesting and likeable character. He's unashamedly smart, witty, not quite as self assured as movie Bond, and is a much more believable lady killer. I think that I shall research the Bonds of the past and report back on the blog on whom I think is the best match to the book - and then who I like the most.
