Alan Dean Foster did a fairly competent job of not overtly contradicting the future canon, considering this was written before Empire Strikes back. So
Alan Dean Foster did a fairly competent job of not overtly contradicting the future canon, considering this was written before Empire Strikes back. Some could argue that it DOES contradict canon at some points, but I think those contradictions are too subtle that you could argue it either way.

I have always had a passing interest in James Bond, but have seen very few of the movies and was never too keen on Bond's womanizing tendencies. I finally got around to reading Casino Royale, and not much to my surprise, the portrayal of Bond in Hollywood is very much a flanderized pile of crap, that Hollywood tends to be so good at dishing out. This book feels like a vehicle for Ian Fleming to show his love for card games, (which is pretty obvious in a later Bond book GoldFinger) I do like the fact that Bond is clearly a multidimensional character. While he still tries to play himself off as suave and flawless (like in the movies) he's very much insecure, and in conflict with himself throughout much of the book. Furthermore his misogynistic portrayal in Hollywood seems to be a bit of a misinterpretation. While Bond clearly expresses negative stereotypes about woman in his "thoughts" this is at odds with his actions, and many of these thoughts get tangled up in reality, and get smashed by some stark revelations in later text. He's shown to be young, stupid, and way more unlucky than he and many of the other characters first view him. So, while I can't say this is an EASY read for woman, I'd suggest you give it a fair chance before assuming its the same 2 Dimensional womanizing secret agent from the movies.

Ultimately creepy in a completely weird and different way, but interesting ending. Much better than the manga version.
