Ultimatum was only slightly less convoluted than its predecessors and had the payoff of finally killing off Carlos the Jackal, supposedly the ultimate goal of Jason Bourne in all three books. How Ludlum and his estate expect to keep David Webb/Jason Bourne going for another several books is beyond me. Several times, quite pointedly, Bourne says he is almost 51. Equally pointedly are the times his aches and pains are commented on, as if to reinforce the fact that Bourne is aging. I’m getting off this merry-go-round here, I have better written and more interesting things to read. ( )Good but written with one eye on the screenplay I think I thought this book would never end. Yes it's well written and kept me turning pages but the story ran out of steam. The ending is wholly unsatisfying.Oh, and outside of a character named Jason Bourne, the book has absolutely nothing to do with the film. I read this as a younger kid (I loved reading the same books my dad did); I remember enjoying the book but definitely need to go back and read it again. I should have stopped with the first Bourne book, which was good. I really should have stopped with the second, which wasn't. But no, I read the third... no reviews | add a review
