The Bourne Identity by Robert LudlumMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
I tried really hard to like this book but it never really seemed to take off for me. It read surprisingly slow given the plot. This was an audio book for me, listened at about 2 hours a day during a commute. At that pace I had trouble keeping track of characters rolls, who was with who and the current plan of action by the character. I'm a fan of longer action books like this as long as the pace is kept up, in this case I felt the story could have been told in 200 less pages. I like the idea behind Bourne's character but don't see myself picking up Bourne #2 until I run out of similar characters series to which I've enjoyed much more.
Very ashamed to say I actually enjoyed the film better despite it's very inaccurate take of the novel.
