Casino Royale - The first of the James Bond and
arguably best of the James Bond books, but the
worst of the movies. As a film it's a poorly
done spoof, but as a novel it's tightly-
written, suspenseful, and filled with some
surprisingly deep character development. Though
it set the stage for the James Bond franchise,
it's quite different from all the movies. As
Bond, you rely on your wits, luck, and rather
misogynistic charm more than on high-tech
gadgets, and your love-life suffers a tragic
turn of events, the basis for all future
romantic entanglements.

I just read this one a little while ago. It was VERY good.
