3.0
Another action/adventure added to the Bourne series. Entertaining and fun but still doesn't compare to the originals.

I really enjoyed this book but was disappointed in the ending. WHile all the books connect to each other, they can basically stand alone. This ending had no closure.

Very good. I think it was definetly up to par with the other Bourne novels. I would love to see another one come out, yet I don't see how it is possible. Jason Bourne has got to be getting on in his years, he can't possibly continue to run the world fighting world class assasins much longer. I would still read it, it just might not be very realistic.

Boring and tedious. Three separate plots that only linked up at the very end. Jason Bourne was about 10% of the book.

This was another typical Bourne Story. Jason uses his trained skill to defeat another bad guy. For some reason I always struggle with keeping track of all the bad guys since all the names start sounding the same. Other than that it was a good story.

The action sequences in these books are always good, however, the plots are more like Mission Impossible. Just too many and too complicated. Add that to the fact there must have been 30 characters in this book-it is simply too much. So much so that I nearly abandoned this book at the 2/3s mark because I was getting bored. I persevered and the ending was good.

All around him half-shattered faces seemed to turn to him, shrieking in the silent agony of their death throes. They were all the same now, these victims of violence that was always, at heart, senseless.
The 7th book in the Bourne series, continued after Robert Ludlum's original trilogy by Eric Van Lustbader, Bourne Deception has a plot which seems straight out of a conspiracy theory.
I'm positive you must have come across theories as to how 9/11 was a government-executed operation to wage war against Islamic terrorist groups. The book perhaps drew its inspiration from this theory itself.
"Perhaps we're both good and evil," Bourne said, wondering about himself, about all his identities, and where the truth lay, "depending on the time and circumstance."
What happens when a security agency teams up with the NSA, to gain control over Iran? Well, you gotta read the book for that, don't you?
The book moves through several cities and countries, most notably Bali, Egypt and the US. The author explores the culture and mythology of Bali quite stunningly, and the time we spend there is more or less, devoid of the chaos and action present throughout the book.
Once again, he was struck by all the myriad strands that went into the weave of a human life- Tracy's no less than anyone else's- perhaps more so in her case because, like him, she lived a double life.
Finally, with this book, I can close the Bourne saga, as these books had been staring wistfully at me, for over 2 years now from my shelves.
Recommended!
