rhoboat 's review for:

The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum
4.0
adventurous mysterious tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Extremely different from the movie which is both a good and a bad thing. I would be all day listing the differences but overall, the differences probably come out net neutral. 

The first half of the book is super slow to get moving, but when the intrigue and action did start happening, it was enjoyable. 

If you like the movie, you'll probably like the book, but don't expect it to be similar in anyway except the main character names. 

Enjoyment: 4/5
Writing: 4/5
