Goldfinger by Ian Fleming

The first half of this book is quite a good story, not particularly overblown, and generally inoffensive, but for the second half, Fleming really pulls out all the stops and creates a ludicrous finale that not only makes little to no sense, but also manages to squeeze yet more racism and sexism, mixing in some as yet unseen female homophobia for good measure. Sigh.
