Goldfinger
by Ian Fleming
read: 2013
Guardian 1000 Novels
Ian Fleming is terrific at describing games and bringing out the tension and drama in competition. In just about every Bond book, there's a game of chance against a villain. In Goldfinger, there are two: the canasta game at the beginning (where Bond catches Goldfinger cheating) and the golf game in the middle. Fleming makes golf exciting!
