Bond is not as arrogant as in the films. Surprisingly, he has feelings, he is scared, he spends time thinking about his mission. Fleming is capable of painting a picture of a very careful man with a keenly strategic mind. The descriptions in the last few chapters are so well done and vivid that I think I won’t ever step into the Caribbean sea.
