"The first of three novels about Jason Bourne, hero extraordinaire, and a man who leaves no stone unturned. It is now a major movie starring Matt Damon . Who is Jason Bourne? And why does he have four million dollars in a Swiss bank account. It is a good question. And one, to which, Jason doesn't know the answer. He has lost his memory, and his search to find out who he is and what he has done starts with one clue: somebody wants him dead. The more information Jason discovers, the more terrifying his quest becomes." (From Amazon)
I don't usually like spy novels but I really enjoyed this book. I loved the movies as well.

Could not actually finish this. For an action book that was turned into one of my favorite action movies, what an effing snooze. I had known that the book and movie were only loosely alike but had not realized just how much; Marie's character was impossibly annoying in the book (but I thinks he was supposed to come across as a strong female character?). The first "I love you, goddammit" made me roll my eyes, and more than once after a character declared something, followed by "goddammit" and wow. Just terrible.
3.5 ⭐️ (but on the 3 side, if it does make sense)
I... read it. That’s a point. If I didn’t liked it enough, I would have probably stopped before (way before) the end, but here I am, I’ve read it all.
I guess that I liked it, then.
Somehow, somewhere, maybe...
Jokes apart, I’ve seen the movies with Matt Damon when I was like... ten? Maybe it wasn’t the right age, I get it, but I still really like the whole Bourne series, so I decided to give a chance to the books too, and I’m happy I did, because although I would never understood how different they are.
Let me say one last thing: I like both the movies and the books, in their own way, and since the plot of the book was so tangled and complicated, I honestly understand why the movies were so different from the novels.

Surprisingly different to the film. Easy and enjoyable read
