| It's still my favorite of the Bond novels.
My deepest thanks to Fleming. |

| Fleming never surpassed the denouement in Casino Royale. Indeed, few novelists of any stripe have ever reached that level of genius. |

| I'm tempted to agree, but I really like the denouement of OHMSS and YOLT as well. |
