Goldinger is the 7th Ian Fleming book, publishing date of 1959. Having watched many James Bond movies, I am used to the action taking place at the beginning and just getting more and more intense as the movie moves forward. This book and movie ate pretty true to one another, except for maybe the gadgets and the shifting of some of the data. There is of course more reflection in a book over a movie.
This book starts of with bond finishing an assignment and thinking about whether he likes the things he does, and looking forward to a much needed break. In the movie, we are on that assignment and he is heading to Miami afterward. Both meet Mr. Goldfinger in Miami, but through different people: Book an aquintance who is getting hustled: movie the British Govt wants Bond to keep an eye on him.
I have never read an Ian Fleming book, but they are pretty well written, maybe I will read a few more that were not written in 1959.
