The action scenes were well-tailored to match each other's strengths. ( ) Second reading did not alter much in my opinion. Same feeling about the intensity of the writing: Van Lustbader's Bourne is not the same character as Ludlum's was. Somehow it is strange that I like the writing and the plotting in this sequel not so much, because I also read other books by his hand and they were okay, or even good. What I found strange is, that the Bourne from the trilogy started to feel his age and in this book Bourne was young again. He also didn't care a s much for his family as the old Bourne and, instead of living somwhere with thm, he was on the run again. Hmmm.... Somehow, while reading this book, I couldn't help feeling that is wasn't the same as the first three parts. To me it didn't have the same intensity, the same thing that made me believe the story. Maybe my expectations were too high, maybe if you regard it as a stand alone book instead of sequel to Ludlum's Jason Bourne, then the reading would be better.

HTML: In Robert Ludlum's ground-breaking career, no other character so captured the world's imagination as Jason Bourne. He appeared in three of Robert Ludlum's own #1 bestselling novels, his bestselling works to this day. Now, with the major motion picture adaptation of Ludlum's The Bourne Supremacy, the Ludlum estate has finally acceded to the demands of readers around the world, turning to bestselling writer Eric Van Lustbader to create a brand new Jason Bourne novel, The Bourne Legacy. Jason Bourne, international assassin of deadly repute, was an identity assumed by covert agent David Webb. Retired from the CIA and now a professor at Georgetown University, Webb's life is finally his own??until he becomes the target of an assassin and is framed for the murder of his two closest associates. Fighting for his life against unseen assailants, the Bourne identity asserts itself, leaving Jason Bourne in control. Barely a half-step ahead of his nemesis and the CIA, who believes he has gone rogue, Bourne finds himself a pawn in a larger, far deadlier game. No library descriptions found. |
