Editorial Review:
Jason Bourne.

He has no past. And he may have no future. His memory is blank. He only knows that he was flushed out of the Mediterranean Sea, his body riddled with bullets.

There are a few clues. A frame of microfilm surgically implanted beneath the flesh of his hip. Evidence that plastic surgery has altered his face. Strange things that he says in his delirium -- maybe code words. Initial: "J.B." And a number on the film negative that leads to a Swiss bank account, a fortune of four million dollars, and, at last, a name: Jason Bourne.

But now he is marked for death, caught in a maddening puzzle, racing for survival through the deep layers of his buried past into a bizarre world of murderous conspirators -- led by Carlos, the world's most dangerous assassin. And no one can help Jason Bourne but the woman who once wanted to escape him.

The Bourne Identity Reviews:
Wow - blows the movie right out of the water! 5 Star Review
2008-08-13 - I first read this book 4 years before the movies started coming out, and it blew me out of the water. Wow. I read spy/action books all the time, and this was amazing. James Bond is the classy blue-blooded spy - he wouldn't stand a chance going through what Bourne did in these books. Please buy it. And forget what you saw in the movie!

Best spy novel, in my opinion 5 Star Review
2008-08-06 - A lot of suspense and twists. Good stuff. The hits just keeps coming! You'll never predict what's going to happen next (that is, if you never seen the movie)! I guess that's all I have to say. The rest, the other people have it already covered (the plot, what's in it, etc. just pointless to restate)

5.1 stars

Bourne Fan 5 Star Review
2008-07-30 - The Bourne books by Ludlum do NOT follow the same storyline as the movies that share the same names as the books. The Movies have Matt Damon and were edited for the screen (Ludlum's characters were retained where they fit into the storyline--for the most part).

That being said, the books were published long ago and are good reads. However, if you expect an "extended" storyline from the movie, you will be disappointed (as I think the previous reviewer was). Taken independently, the book is a wonderful read, and the reader will see a character whose difficulty trusting the government is spot on--as is the government's willingness to use people (as is evident in all of the books of this "type").

The characters in the books are more rounded (both good and bad), rather than just one-sided as portrayed in the movie(s)--usually what happens in a "book."

I recommend this series so long as you do not expect a rehash of the movies, and the book gets a 5-star rating from me...




For the first time ever....movie was better 3 Star Review
2008-06-13 - I never thought I would ever say that the movie was better, but it is. The book is OK, but no where near as good as the movie with Matt Damon. The book starts out real interesting and hits some good action points here and there but then it draws out real slow for a few hundred pages, finally climaxes at the end, I already got the Supremacy and the Ultimatum so I will go ahead and finish the trilogy but I would much rather read Tom Clancy than this ever again.

But for those of you who love action packed books, I strongly suggest Clancy for you.

Great Book 5 Star Review
2008-04-07 - Bought this bopok for Father In Law...He was unable to locate a copy...He was very pleased when we purchased it for him...
