Title: The Bourne Identity Author(s): Robert Ludlum Pages: 1 Publisher: Publication date: Language: English Format: PDF ISBN-10: 0553260111 ISBN-13: Description: For some long-forgotten reason, I picked up this book while in graduate school, and was immediately hooked on the spy genre (especially after reading Ken Follett's equally good 'Triple'). Since I was working my way through school with a night job, my hours were precious and I already had an ample supply of reading material, yet I found myself unable to put down this book. The pacing, style (only Chricton ranks as high as a page-turner in my mind), and overall story line make this a classic. Be careful, you'll need to find the time to finish the trilogy.
The only sad part of this is viewers of the movie series will pick this up and be disappointed in how different the storyline ends. The literary antagonist (the infamous Jackal) is a much more compelling villain, but I understand the need to keep things up to date in a movie.
I managed to finish school, but he sure made it a bigger challenge.
Overall, well worth the investment of time. Is anyone else doing it as well these days? I haven't found him/her yet.
