There are some books out there that people have a hard time
putting them into one specific genre. And, while I do believe a book cannot be
placed into one, single genre, they all have the one general, non-specific
genre it belongs too. They say Harry
Potter is fantasy. Star Wars is
science fiction. They all have the one obvious genre and there really isn’t
anymore that they need to be. I think if you leave it to that one specific
genre then that is ok. I think Twilight is
a romance. Others say it’s a romantic
drama or a paranormal romance or gothic romance. Why do we need all of those
tags? It’s a romance. Why keep adding words at the beginning or end?
That’s
why I like James Bond novels. They have one distinct genre—espionage. James
Bond novels practically invented espionage books. When people think espionage
novels they think of James Bond. Casino
Royale is one of the most classic examples of espionage. It’s a top secret,
confidential, dangerous and risky spy mission. Some may argue that Casino Royale could be a romantic
suspense novel because of Bond’s relationship with women but that isn’t the
main point of the story. Its James Bond, the spy.
