I picked up a volume called Dr. No which I am told by connoisseurs of his work
is not one of his best.  It's certainly a very bad novel indeed, and this
struck me as a monstrous piece of work.  The crude sadism, the disgusting sex,
the very second-rate snobbery... It's not even the snobbery of a proper snob!
It's the snobbery of an expense account man.
