The story of Casino Royale is broken into three basic acts (which Stevens talks about after the book on the audio), the mission at the casino, the kidnap/chase/torture, and then recovery/denouement. Although I admit wholeheartedly that in my mind, I was imagining this: Casino Royale is narrated by Dan Stevens of Downton Abbey fame. In 2014 a new set of James Bond audiobooks, the Celebrity Performances, were released. So in order to get back on the reviewing bandwagon, I decided a quick audiobook was the ticket, and clocking in at just over 5 hours, Casino Royale fit the bill. I have been reading most of the time, but I’m working through two very dense books ( Children of God by Mary Doria Russell and House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende) during a very busy time for me at work (Ah, summer camp season).
It’s been nearly 4 weeks since my last review.
