A review by shellydav
The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum

3.0

Seeing bits and pieces of this on TV, I decided I'd like to read the story before seeing the movies (always a good rule). I'm halfway through and find that it is definitely different from what little I know of the films.

I also find the dialogue a bit contrived, stuffy, maybe even unrealistic? But it is action-packed--perfect for summer reading.
