🎰 カジノ・ロワイヤル - Wikipedia

Dan Stevens deserves a 5 star performance. I enjoyed this audio book and must hand another 5 points for Audible making the 'original' James Bond available in unabridged format. One of my favourite audiobooks. James Bond is a product of the early Cold War and the left over days of WWII. His impersonations are first rate. I have not read any Fleming before and was probably judging him unfairly based only on the movies, but the book was well constructed and the writing much better than expected, I think I thought it would be more comic book style. He really knows how to move the story along at the right pace. Any additional comments? Thoroughly enjoyed it. Still, it is believable and fun to listen to. You don't meet the assured machine-man super-spy of later books, but a very vulnerable and human James. 総合評価 4 out of 5 stars ナレーション 4 out of 5 stars ストーリー 4 out of 5 stars Stuart Much more of a literary effort than I expected What did you like best about this story? It does seem that when you read James Bond, as the narrator you have to put on a clandestine voice that initially has a bit of a monotonous ring to it or maybe a whisper. Although some would not like the mix of spy thriller and romance novel, I did, and found it to be very poignant. Stevens' success in reading this story is that the characters doesn't speak with this same type of voice. His use of action direct verbs is excellent. This book is worth the read, but as for listening to it, Dan Stevens really does an excellent job. I've enjoyed every minute of it. 総合評価 5 out of 5 stars ナレーション.{/INSERTKEYS}{/PARAGRAPH} Dan Stevens does a good job of the narration - maybe even a little hint of Connery about the phrasing and cadence every now and then. Ian Fleming's writing is worth studying. {PARAGRAPH}{INSERTKEYS}In Casino Royale, Ian Fleming introduced this agent for the first time and he does a splendid job of it. Didn't see much of him on Downton Abby but now I have a new respect for him. He is not as cold and clinical as he initially seems and he is blinded by his very human emotions. For me, this is much better than the Film and not yet contaminated by high-tech gadgets and action scenes. Damn good he is. Personal tragedy mixed with patriotism and revenge drives to make the decision between good and evil. I loved how Dan Stevens read the novel, and it was a treat to listen to his interview at the end.
