Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Bourne Objective (Abridged) Audiobook

" It was ok, but not Ludlum's Bourne. It was something much less "

" As a Jason Bourne novel goes it's . . . . well, okay. But nothing to shout to the world about. "

" I love the Bourne stories. I love the Bourne movies or is it Mat Damon? A summer would not be a summer without reading one. "

" Did not finish, too hard to follow, too many car chases. "

" The worst of the Bourne series. Too many characters to keep track of, poor story, and NO action! "

" Fast paced, as expected. Plots overtly convoluted. Lots of loose ends. "

" I discovered Ludlum in the 80's as I recall. I read all the Bourne novels except for this one which I believe was written after Ludlum died...will be curious to see if anyone I know has read it. "

" Robert Ludlum's knack for writing engrossing spy stories continues "

" This was by far the toughest Bourne book to read. Had a hard time being engaged. Might be the last I read in the series. "

" It was good, but not as good as the original Robert Ludlum books. "

" I learned that Lustbader cannot equal Robert Ludlum's writing in the 'Bourne' novels. I won't read another of his 'Bourne' books. "

" Pretty good - just like all the Bourne books. But, of course, gave me nightmares at night because I am way too impressionable. (= "

" this book is a mystery. in my opinion this was not as good as some of the other bourne books. i could not seem to put my finger on what was bothering me about this. i gave the book three stars and i recomend it i also hope you enjoyed it more than i did "

" Eric Van Lustbader's style is a bit different from Ludlum's but I enjoy his writing as well. "

" I have loved the previous bourne stories, but I missed the previous book and I feel like I missed something huge. It felt like I was reading a book but missed the first key chapters. So... my bad rating may be more about that than the story. I liked it overall though. I would love to see it in film "

" I liked more Carlos as Bourne enemy, Arkadin was good, but Carlos was the best "

" It was the first one I tried to listen too and there is too much going on to listen and drive. I like the movies better-will wait for this one on DVD. "

" This book does not live up to Robert Ludlum''s legacy. I was interested in Bourne but found the story a repeat of other Bourne storylines. "

" Ok not as good as the others - kinda a weak ending "

" The book isn't badly written but it, like all of Lustbaders Bourne books, doesn't live up to the first three books. "

" Looks like Jason does not die! But that is OK with me as I like the series. Quite thrilling and fairly believable scenes. Not as good as the Ultimatum, but still good. "

" I liked the book somewhat but plot was too typical of previous Bourne stories. It is time to give Jason Bourne new assignments/plots. Perhaps have Jason recruited by Pamela Landy under some special circumstances. "

" Excellent continuation of the series. I really like Van Lustbader's switch to more complex plots and more complex characters (beyond Bourne-who is certainly less complex than Ludlum's Bourne). "

" I miss Ludlum. This is formulaic and boring. I read it all because I just kept hoping it would get better. I like the movies much better. Lustbader must have been hired to churn these out for $$ more than quality. "

" The language is exceptionally awful--fair warning. I think I keep reading the series only to somehow cling to what I like about the movies. This book series overall is the only example I can think of where the movie is so much better that the book! "

" Keeps the action up and the reader wanting more. On to Dominion!!! "

" Arkadin, the antagonist in the last three novels changed quite a bit in this installment. His personality changed. I had a hard time believing this was the same character from the previous two books. "

" I was lost in the florid descriptions and name dropping. I hate to read a book where the author lists people without establishing a character. "

" Lustbader's best in a while, but still not as good as his first Bourne book "

" I liked the book somewhat but plot was too typical of previous Bourne stories. It is time to give Jason Bourne new assignments/plots. Perhaps have Jason recruited by Pamela Landy under some special circumstances. "

" ok, really - not that great "

" Typical Jason Bourne unbelievable mayhem. "

" Yikes, either this was way worse than the other or else the terrible writing is just made glaringly obvious by the audio version. Either way, I'm glad its done! "

" Fast paced, as expected. Plots overtly convoluted. Lots of loose ends. "

" Basic Bourne book that continues where the last one left off. Basic read...nothing special. "

" This is one case in which the movies are better than the books. This book jumped every few pages from location to location and from character to character. Just not engrossing for me. "

" Eric Van Lustbader's style is a bit different from Ludlum's but I enjoy his writing as well. "

" This was another Jason Bourne adventure. About as good as could be expected. The movies were better. "

" It was okay. It seemed rushed, and not enough action scenes for me. It still kept me reading though. If you like the Bourne series, and are familiar with the characters, it's a good one to read. "

" The readers objective is to get to know the characters and follow along with them in the plot. In this book, there are just too many characters for the reader to keep track of, so it makes it a tough start for a book. "

" As odd as this sounds, I like the Bourne novels by Eric Van Lustbader better than the originals by Robert Ludlum. This is the best one yet. "
