NP but John Le Carre

[Jochen Stremmel]

"The scent and smoke and sweat of a casino are nauseating at three in the
morning."

Not bad for a first sentence, if you ask me.

That it's better than your next to last one doesn't say much. And if
Fleming is responsible for upping Le Carré's game, all the better.


I do feel now renewed urgency to not read any Ian Fleming.
