A review by gotoboston
Robert Ludlum’s The Hades Factor by Robert Ludlum

4.0

This was a difficult book to rate and I wavered between three stars and four stars for awhile before settling finally on four. While there is nothing particularly spectacular about the book and it certainly wasn't thought provoking or intriguing, it was certainly a lot of fun. This is a classic thriller with a fast-paced plot with lots of different background elements playing into the relatively simple plot.

I know Ludlum wrote the Bourne novels, which is why I picked this particularly book up at a used bookstore for free. And I was pleasantly surprised to find the book was indeed as fast paced and action packed as the Bourne movies. Now I think I'm going to have to go out and find the Bourne novels in order to see if I enjoy them as much as I enjoyed the movies and this book.

In any case, I'm going to keep my eyes open for more in the series though I'm satisfied with just leaving the series with this stand-alone novel.
