Advantages: Gripping

Disadvantages: Not like the film

I have literally just reviewed the film of the same name, but I couldnt do that without reviewing the book. As an avid reader I read the book first before seeing the film as I have always enjoyed reading anything by Robert Ludlum and this book was no exception.

The Bourne Identity is a terrific read, the charachter of Jason Bourne is fantastic and the story is incredibly believable. I promise that you will pick this book up and struggle to put it down again, as proved by the fact that one night it got to 3AM before I even realised the time.

If you have seen the film and are expecting this to read like it was taken from the script you will be sadly mistaken, however I dont think that this detracts from either the book or the film. Robert Ludlum can write a book with more twists and turns and action than anyone else I have read. Tom Clancy used to be my favorite author but Robert Ludlum has taken his place.

Summary: Read this book and you might forget who and where you are.
