Devil May Care has been published to celebrate the Centenary of Ian Fleming's birth. This has been written by one of Britain's most admired novelists, Sebastian Faulks.
It's better than the previous books written by Ian Fleming. I can't argue that it is Ian who created this remarkable figure. I tried to read the Casino Royale after watching the movie in cinema. I found it difficult to understand due to the fact that there is more narrations than coversations which is a good way to make the image of James as a hero with everthing under control.
I guess the 007 movies make me to expect more in the books. You can't really find all the cool devices and weapons in the 007 books written in the mid 1900.
Devil May Care is similar to to previous 007 story with modern language. James works alone following orders from M and everthing like weapons and devises have been arranged for him. There has always been someone who is familiarized with the situation to help him and give him more detailed information. His enemies have a lot in common, scientific freaks, weapon or drug traffickers who are determined to destroyed or control the whole world. No matter how powerful they are and what approaches they intend to make use of, they all will be defeated by James Bond eventually. After each mission, James will enjoy his holiday with his new Bond girl which is like a bonus for him.
Devil May Care is easy to read. The story is very fluent. James is a self-displined man, very brave and alway on alert. He has a lot of guts to challenge his enemy face to face. It's amazing to know that the M16 headquarter is close to Regents Park which brings the story to life.

For example, I can really understand most of the book, or boring book, not as good as I expected, etc.
