Book Description:
A KILLER WITH NO FACE, NO IDENTITY, AND A NAME THE WORLD WANTED TO FORGET:
JASON BOURNE
Reenter the shadowy world of Jason Bourne, an expert assassin still plagued by the splintered nightmares of his former life. This time the stakes are higher than ever. For someone else has taken on the Bourne identity–a
ruthless killer who must be stopped or the world will pay a devastating price. To succeed, the real Jason Bourne must maneuver through the dangerous labyrinth of international espionage–an exotic world filled with CIA plots, turncoat agents, and ever-shifting alliances–all the while hoping to find the truth behind his haunted memories and the answers to his own fragmented past. This time there are two Bournes–and one must die.

I don't normally go out of my way to read spy novels, but this series is fantastic. The movies deviate quite a bit from the novels, and (naturally!) the books are better.

I love the movies, but Ludlum is a bit of a tough read, to me. He can get a little repetitive and certain scenes just seem to hit a plateau for a while. But the things he comes up with for Bourne to do and the ways to get out of these things are just marvelous, and so we read it anyway. And so should you.

Good read. Great for plane trips, but I wouldn't read it multiple times, since the mystery & intrigue are the draw. This is actually the 2nd Bourne book. It is followed by the Bourne ultimatum. Once again- it is not like the movies since it was written during the Cold War era.

The movie is better than the book in this case. Ludlum tends to over-analyze the political situation, and the action loses focus due to it.

Although different from the movies, and more intense, but a very good read.

Like it's predessor, The Bourne Identity, a real page turner. Fast paced, suspenseful, and peopled with three dimensional characters.

Every Ludlum book is engrossing and this is no exception. I had to read it in one sitting because I could not put it down.
