Finally. Okay, so the book was good but I have to say it really could have been wrapped up in about 250 pages instead of the 663 it took. So many misses that were just frustrating. All the integral plot points tied up in the end and it definitely didn't leave any questionable loose ends. While I'm glad I read the books as they are SO different from the movies, I'm also glad that I'm done with the series.Maybe it's not that bad, but Lord, it sure ain't good.
I am quite the fan of the Bourne film series. Matt Damon's incredible performance as amnesiac assassin Jason Bourne really refined the vulnerable yet brutal everyman action hero that many action films have tried (and failed *cough* Quantum of Solace) to emulate since his debut. Both Damon and his directors understood what made the character of Bourne great. He is a sympathetic man that will turn into a monster during dangerous circumstances but always fight for the good cause, and in this book
I'm done, I'm done, I'm done! Reading this triology tested my soul. The most recent books that I read that were long and filled with characters were the Game of Thrones books. In those books, glossaries help as well as family trees. In this one, with not so many characters and not so lengthy a book, you still wondered who the individuals were that the author was referencing. The writing: It's strange. Unlike any other book I've read. The author tries to be cute and ends up just being wordy.
I'll start by saying that the book and the movie are different in all ways except for the title and the main character's name. That character is the scholar David Webb, or, as more people know him, Jason Bourne - the lethal government assassin - until he got amnesia. Now, thirteen years later, David is married with children, and Bourne's sworn enemy - the killer Carlos the Jackal - resurfaces, seeking a final confrontation. Now, David Webb must take on the identity of Jason Bourne to protect his
My rating is perhaps a little unusual for me,as it's not really based on literary merit. Indeed, I found myself, upon this reread, a little shocked at how often Bourne makes mistakes and is mentioned to be getting old. Still, it's one of the first adult novels I really read and got into, and for that, it has a special place in my heart. William Dufris's narration of this work so enthralled me at the time that I played the tapes several times over - no small thing considering they ran for over
To be honest I was disappointed with this one. I felt like finishing it - and the original trilogy - was an obligation after only a few pages.The dialogue is ridiculous - nobody (and while I'm not familiar with American government institutions and their employees I'm pretty sure this covers them too) speaks in such a manner. Every conversation is overly convoluted and then - as if for the sake of an uneducated audience - explained again as part of the same dialogue. Not only that but the way in
