If you are reading this review then perhaps you have read The Bourne Identity and are now contemplating the sequel? Don't bother. Just like a movie sequel, this book was written for no other reason then to crank out something to please fans and hopefully make a quick buck on the coat tails of an initial success.The Bourne Identity was a fantastic read and held my interest from page one to page last. This book wanders, has a week plot, is hard to follow, is missing pieces of the story which I guess we are supposed to assume but which only make it confusing, and overall lacks the sophistication of the first novel.If you're a Ludlum junkie then you're going to read this book regardless, but if you're like me and first became aware of Jason Bourne after the movies came out and your simple looking for a fun, gripping spy novel, then please take my advice and skip this book.
