gossamerwingedgazelle 's review for:

The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum
5.0

I love this book. I have read it twice before, I think. Yeah, some of Ludlum's naming conventions are a bit repetitive ("the son of the shepherd boy" and names like that are used too frequently), but a lot of this book is exceptionally good. The female lead isn't a dope. The evolution of how Bourne is referred to in dialogue tags: from "the man" to "J. Bourne" when he only knew part of his name to "Jason Bourne".... It is an exceptionally compelling story.
