​I read this book years ago, long before the movies started coming out.  I thought it was great and was excited when the movie came out in 2002 starring Matt Damon.  I thought Mr. Damon did a fantastic job.  The movie stuck very close to the book, but of course the book goes into a lot more detail as expected.
I found an original hardcopy of the book at a used bookstore.  I thought I would enjoy reading it again.  I was right.  Mr. Ludlum has a great way with words.  His descriptions are easy to see with the mind’s eye and his delineation of characters are right on.
I would recommend this book even if you’ve already seen the movies.
Robert Ludlum wrote the Bourne trilogy.  They are: “The Bourne Identity, Bourne Supremacy, and the Bourne Ultimatum.  There are other Jason Bourne books but they are written by Eric Van Lustbader.
