The Bourne Identity (Abridged) Audiobook

" Even though I had watched the movie, I still found reading the nivel worthwhile. Would recommend it "

" Maybe because it was the first one I read ( 20 years ago) and the fact that I could not put it down, but this is my all time favorite Robert Ludlum book. "

" The movie and book has a common thing: a spy known as Jason Bourne from Treadstone who has lost his memory... That is all. I wondered how can a movie be so different from book and yet the book says "now a major movie". The book was heavy, writing obscure and twists not that surprising, still it has something that binds you, provokes you to complete it and finally leave you wiyh a thought: should I go for book number two or not. As a matter of fact, right now I have had enough of Jason Bourne aand I am currently sick of the repetitive line "Delta is for Cain and Cain is for Charlie", yes Mr Ludlum I got that. But the book was okay and since I was able to finish it so I liked it. "

" It was pretty good without being great. I will say that it was very different than the movies, far more so than I expected. "

" Got through a few chapters. There way too many books in the world to slug through this tripe, I mean trope. Boring, poorly written and characters that would go up in smoke at a spark struck in a different hemisphere. Maybe the movies ruined it. Wait, no, this book was just lame. "

" This is a decent book, y'know? It just took me 2 months to read because suspense novels can't be suspenseful when you've already seen the movie. "

" Kept a consistent level of action and suspense. One of my all time favourite books. "

" The book "The Bourne Identity" is a really good book has lots of action if you are a fan of action this a good book.Its a very long book and you should read all the book befor this book so you understand what is going on.The mian idea of this book is that he is hunting some body but gets hurt and the person he was hunting down is hunting him down and that is really the main idea.But it is a very good book. "

" Another great thriller from Ludlum. I had expected a good read but found that it is a real masterpiece of moving action, something which is much more than just a good read. "

" Ludlum would have been a much better writer if he had known one gun from another. His preposterous descriptions of handguns always detracted from otherwise excellent narratives. "

" Really hard going. Too many characters and twists for me to get into "

" This book is fantastic! If you think you know the story from seeing the movie, think again. Bourne is way more realistic, and Marie isn't just a gypsy girl wandering around Europe. Devious, twisted, and fascinating. A must read! "

" Classic story with unique setting and voice. Must read for every thriller fan alive. "

" Liked it a lot! I found some of the story lines hard to follow, mostly the parts with the Intelligence Agency. I had trouble keeping all of the characters straight. Overall though, I thought it was really good. Probably won't watch the movie- I don't want it to ruin it! "

" The author makes you read as fast as you can to find out what's in the next page. It involves you in the action and the characters. "

" Exciting at parts but dragged on "

" The book is excellent but don't think that because you watched the movie you know what the book is about. The movie is missing the main villain. "

" Great spy thriller. Now I have to find the Supremacy. "

" will keep you reading until the last page of the book. "

" Completely different and a million times better than the movie! "

" It's been many years since I originally read this, and I had forgotten how much it differed from the movie. I enjoyed it. "

" Way different than the movie, and set in a different era when cell phones, GPS's and many contemporary conveniences were not available. Nevertheless, it was very well written and action packed. I could totally imagine the main character with no memory trying to figure out who was. "

" The books were not at all the same as the movies. "

" Have been reading these books for many years and they never disappoint. Even go back to them once every so often and always enjoy re-reading and learning about the characters. "

" Loved the movie which means I was afraid I might not love the book. But I did! Even though they don't have the exact same plot they were both very interesting and readable/watchable :) "

" The way whole plot is woven on such intricate and exquisite details makes it one of the best mystery fiction book read till date. Robert Ludlum has a knack to create some awesome breath taking and mind boggling twists and turns. This one is full if it. "

" The best Ludlum book, even though overall I'm not a big fan of his. "

" I liked the plot of the book better than the movie, but sometimes the book is dumb and the characters are implausible. "

" I will go ahead and admit it. I liked the movie more than the book. It was one of these rare times, that this ever happened to me. Nice story, good action, not exactly my style, but a nice novel nonetheless. "

" A rare case in which the movie was far better than the book. Skip it and Netflix the capable Mr. Damon. "

" Read this sitting on the beach in Portgual! "

" I love this author - I also really enjoyed this storyline - Loved the book and the movie - I could re-read and re-watch this story again and again ... "

" Loved all LUDLUM'S Bourne books. Great page-turners. "

" One of the best ever. If you haven't, read it. Now. "

" although not miserable, I kept hoping it would improve. Regretted investing my time into this book-- enough that I gave it away along with it's 2 sequels (without reading the sequels). "

" This book is entertaining, suspenseful, and fast reading. --Roger Weston, author of The Golden Catch "

" It was almost a 4 but I have to say, it doesn't age well. "

" Not anything like the movie, but both are great! You can read the book and enjoy the movie without spoiling one another. This is a great, faced-paced book. I really enjoyed the movies and the book does not disappoint. "
