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!

Like many great book to film productions, I always say I should read the book before watching the film.

Robert Ludlum was a thriller writer with an enormous skill and breadth of knowledge. I have read many of his books, but only recently, having watched the films, did I decide to read the Bourne trilogy. The first of these is also the shortest, entitled The Bourne Identity.
