Goldfinger 5

"You play a slazinger 1 don't you..............well this is slazinger 18 and since we are playing under strict rules that means you lose the hole and the game." (Fleming 152) There is a 20 page description of the golf game between Goldfinger and James and during the game James realizes his opponet is cheating but he knows this for most of the game, they are not testing each others skill but each others wit and Bond comes out on top in the end. Fleming does this alot throughout the novel, always showing a fight between Goldfinger and Bond and not a fight of physical prowess but a fight of wit.

Question:

• When love scenes are described why are they so rough?
• What side is Pussy Galore on?
• Does James even care for Pussy Galore?
• Why is Oddjob Goldfinger's personal guard?
• Why aren't there many plot twists as in other Fleming novels?
