It was OK. A bit of a let down, considering how much I love all the James Bond movies. It felt like the first third of the book was dedicated to describing (in too much detail) how the game of poker (or baccarat or whatever) was played, and a play-by-play of the game itself. I found it hard to follow (probably b/c I found it boring). 
 There were also a lot of reference to places and things that I didn't know. I guess if you ran in that type of circle in that era, you might know what Fleming was talking about, but I just felt kind of lost again. 
 But it was short enough that I'd recommend it to anyone who really loves James Bond. And I might try to read another, sometime.
