IIRC the books are all much of a muchness, fairly down the middle as a spy novel, the camp humour was never there I think, or the ultra-violence.
I've only read Casino Royale and I haven't felt the need to read any more Bond books after that one.
They do contain some of the camp humour, but not as obvious as clichéd one-liners. It's all very macho and masculine and Bond is the perfect spy and womanizer, but Flemming did try and give the character some emotional struggles here and there (which is about on par with the Craig movies, but it never happened with the previous Bonds) but all in all it's a very adventure driven book about the man all women want to be with and all men want to be.
I wouldn't recommend reading the Bond books unless the others are actually better than Casino Royale, but i doubt it.

Spaghetti western obv a huge influence here.  Oh, there is even a bruce lee-ish mirror scene fight. Grasshoppa.

Even worse the second time around. So many roll your eye senses, too much Judy Dench and Craig about as charismatic and emotional as a lead pipe.

Spoiler (highlight to read):
Also eva greens accent is horrendous

Daniel Craig's Bond is a total reboot, including the character traits moviegoers have grown accustomed to.
Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace I would give a 9/10
I just got done watching all of the Bond movies (Bond 50 on blu ray & in a course of a month).
"Bond 50" a must for a Bond Fan 10/10
My least favorite Bond movie - Tomorrow Never Dies 4 /10 (I find myself comparing the villians to Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniack, probably because the Woz did all of the work -ZING)
Roger Moore is kinda of stiff but watchable, i dunno

I am all set to watch Skyfall this weekend

You don't think that "Die Another Day" is worse than "Tomorrow Never Dies"? I was cringing the entire way through DAD.

For me it's a toss up between that and The World Is Not Enough. That one was really good and felt a lot like Goldeneye did.

After Licence to Kill Bond was pretty much milked dry.
Goldeneye resurrected Bond. Kiwi Director Martin Campbell was behind that.
Die Another Day crippled him.
Casino Royale brought him back again, though differently. Martin Campbell again.

Basically if Bond ever takes a serious misstep again they should just make Martin Campbell make the next one. Even though Green Lantern sucked.

By the way my vote for worst Bond has to go to OHMSS. Everyone in that production seemed to hate each other and it showed. Die Another Day is really bad and at times completely ridiculous but it had some cool action-y bits and kept my attention.

Bad men stealing water under the desert or some crap like that. If you mean QoS.

James Cameron should make a Bond movie. True Lies was a nice Bond-like film with humor tossed in.
