Finally made it through this. You can tell this was written by a dude in the 80s. When Bourne was manhandling Marie in the beginning, I was thinking, “she better not fall in love with him.” Ten minutes later they’re in love and acting like they’ve been married for ten years. Absolutely nobody should say “my love” as much as Marie says “my love”.
I honestly don’t even know if the plot was good because I could barely follow it. I would get so bored of the writing I would either zone out or drift off to sleep. Half the book is dialogue, and the other half is Bourne being sneaky sneak in various random set pieces.
Bad dialogue, vague writing, repetitive phrases. Could not wait for it to be over.

Well I'm glad I took this is a holiday read, I think this would have taken twice as long if I had to fit it around normal everyday life.
The first starts out very similar to the film with a man found in the sea who doesn't remember who he is, and that's about it. The plot is very different to the film so I think you have to judge them as separate from one another. I actually enjoyed both versions. For me the first on the trilogy was the best, followed by the last with supremacy bringing up the rear.
I would definitely read more by this author as well as watch the next instalment of the film out next month!

I remember reading this years back, and I guess it was passable reading at the time. From what I remember of the story though, it isn't what I'd read anymore.
