🖐 Audible版『Casino Royale (with Interview) 』 | Ian Fleming | art-certus.ru

I enjoyed this audio book and must hand another 5 points for Audible making the 'original' James Bond available in unabridged format. 総合評価 4 out of 5 stars ナレーション 4 out of 5 stars ストーリー 4 out of 5 stars Stuart Much more of a literary effort than I expected What did you like best about this story? This book is worth the read, but as for listening to it, Dan Stevens really does an excellent job. I have not read any Fleming before and was probably judging him unfairly based only on the movies, but the book was well constructed and the writing much better than expected, I think I thought it would be more comic book style. Damn good he is. Dan Stevens does a good job of the narration - maybe even a little hint of Connery about the phrasing and cadence every now and then. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved how Dan Stevens read the novel, and it was a treat to listen to his interview at the end. One of my favourite audiobooks. 総合評価 5 out of 5 stars ナレーション.{/INSERTKEYS}{/PARAGRAPH} Any additional comments? His use of action direct verbs is excellent. He really knows how to move the story along at the right pace. Still, it is believable and fun to listen to. Personal tragedy mixed with patriotism and revenge drives to make the decision between good and evil. Ian Fleming's writing is worth studying. You don't meet the assured machine-man super-spy of later books, but a very vulnerable and human James. Although some would not like the mix of spy thriller and romance novel, I did, and found it to be very poignant. Didn't see much of him on Downton Abby but now I have a new respect for him. It does seem that when you read James Bond, as the narrator you have to put on a clandestine voice that initially has a bit of a monotonous ring to it or maybe a whisper. {PARAGRAPH}{INSERTKEYS}In Casino Royale, Ian Fleming introduced this agent for the first time and he does a splendid job of it. I've enjoyed every minute of it. For me, this is much better than the Film and not yet contaminated by high-tech gadgets and action scenes. James Bond is a product of the early Cold War and the left over days of WWII. Dan Stevens deserves a 5 star performance. He is not as cold and clinical as he initially seems and he is blinded by his very human emotions. His impersonations are first rate. Stevens' success in reading this story is that the characters doesn't speak with this same type of voice.
