As an avid reader of absolutely nothing!! I was surprised to find this book thoroughly gripping from start to finish when I went on holiday for Tenerife for a week and managed to complete it in this time! Which for me is certainly a testament to the twists and turns in this more indepth version of the Robert Ludlum classic compared to the Paul Greengrass & Matt Damon outing on the big screen.

The key things to mention is probably that the book isn't different to the film the same way that the Harry Potter series is different due to time constraints in movie format but probably more to do with the difference in setting and current affairs of the world at the time of the story been written and it making it to the cinema's.

Be prepared to have alot more information about both main characters Jason Bourne / David Webb and Marie St Jacques and especially how she comes into the story in much more brutal fashion.

Will not say anymore other than if you are thinking of reading it think no more and immerse yourself into a different adventure to what you expect!
