Goldfinger 2

"Bond's first view of Mr. Goldfinger was startling. At the far corner of the roof, just below the cliff of the hotel, a man was lying on his back with his legs up on a steamer chair. He was wearing nothing but a yellow satin bikini slip, dark glasses and a pair of wide tin wings under his chin." (Fleming 35) This quotes show how good Fleming is at describing the exact situation and actions that are taking place he uses common vocabulary to put creative images in your head so that you will not only have an understanding of the story and situation but you will be captured and intrigued by what is going on and what is going to happen next in the book.
