Much of the book takes place in the Casino, where the author shows off his knowledge of the games and the atmosphere surrounding the casinos. That being said, I thought the plots and themes of the novel have stayed current.
In fairness, however, it is a cliché the author himself created. The tales of an aged Cold War spy who loves material and sexual excesses told in outdated narrative seems cliché and naïve. On the surface Casino Royale by Ian Fleming seems dated. Casino Royale by Ian Fleming is the first book featuring secret agent James Bond, 007.īuy this book in paper or electronic format*
