Welcome back to Book Club! Get your drinks, snacks and any notes you have and gather round for the final discussions on Casino Royale!

If you want any resources for the Casino Royale book, please find the link to the resources in the sidebar on the right! Please check the schedule to find out what we're discussing this week!

Book Club is designed to be a place where you can go beyond the Bond movies and delve into another medium with our favourite secret agent. There is no set discussions, if you have anything interesting you want to discuss about your reading experience, comments on the text, or even how reading the book might have changed your view on the characters in the movies then do share!

Some Questions to get us started!

1) What do you think of the book overall? What bits would you want to improve?
2) Has the book changed your opinion on James Bond (the character)? Why is this?
3) Have you enjoyed the read along for this month? What has been your favourite bits so far?

These questions are just to get you started, as always please post your opinions, views and other discussion points about the book that you want to talk about! Happy discussing!

Note - we will be discussing the WHOLE book this week, so naturally there will be spoilers if you have not yet finished the book!

Please note - our next book is Live and Let Die, and will start on the 5th of September. Please check the schedules and resources post for more information about the book club times and where you can find copies of the book!

1) What do you think of the book overall? What bits would you want to improve?
I really like Casino Royale, it's a really good introduction to the character and the world. I don't think I would change anything, tbh

2) Has the book changed your opinion on James Bond (the character)? Why is this?
This one is hard to answer because I read it for the first time so long ago, but I think it really solidified a lot of my headcanons as far as Bond's work ethic, attitudes etc

3) Have you enjoyed the read along for this month? What has been your favourite bits so far?
I get to yell about books at the internet and people actually are interested, it's great! And reading with the intent of discussing and taking notes has helped me notice things that I'd never really paid attention to before

I've definitely been grateful for your notes on the book and loved seeing what caught your attention during your second reading! Will we get a part two on Tumblr?

I'm literally working on it right now! the second half is a lot more painful which is part of the reason I've been avoiding it

Yeah, definitely more painful.

His eyes were wet and he dried them."
