How did you like Casino Royale? I am having a hard time getting into it.

While I wasn't naive enough to think it would be like the movie, it is pretty slow going. It reads like Fleming was more concerned with Bond's meals than his action (the travel writer coming out in the fiction). It is brief, though, and I decided to just sit down and finish the dang thing one afternoon!
