Robert Ludlum; The Bourne Identity

[SFG75]

Just wrapped this one up last night and absolutely loved it! I really enjoyed how a lot of characters on the side suddenly died when their expertise or advice was needed. Not only that, but there was a random nature to it, allies of Carlos and other nefarious individuals were not immune from being rubbed out. The action was definitely fast paced and it was a good page turning book. Interestingly, this book was voted the second best spy thriller of all time after a John Le Carre novel.

I'm ashamed to say that I've never seen the movie. I'll have to rent it this weekend and put on my critical hat.

LOL-I can just imagine the movie with Woody Allen. I would feature Bourne dining at the houses of his rich friends, who are all divorced, and who are all neurotic. It would be great.:lol:

The movie is nothing like the book. I wish I had read the book first so that I was not disappointed by the lack of "excitment" that the movie invoked but the novel lacked (in my opinion).
