This book has been a lot to take in within the first 150 pages. It is so full of action that it makes this one of the few novels that makes me reread certain parts, because it is so fast paced. This novel has basically gone like this:
Bourne is discovered,
fight,
leaves for a new city,
fight,
kidnaps a woman (I'll get into more detail about this later. Focus on this summary),
fight,
grand escape in a stolen car,
fights a man who is clearly crippled,
woman escapes,
and that is where I have stopped...
This, in total, stops the book at about 150 pages.
That's a lot of action.
Now, to the woman who was kidnapped part...
Well, Jason Bourne needed to get away from some agents out to kill him. To blend himself into the crowd, he kidnaps a woman, who acts as his wife. He uses her to gets a car, and as Bourne, injured, needs to get away, he threatens her: "Understand me clearly. You're going to do exactly as I tell you. You're going to be at my side and this gun will be in my pocket.... As you've seen, I'm running for my life, and I won't hesitate to pull the trigger. I want you to understand... (Pg 86)". This is the extent to what Bourne will go to in order to survive...

ReplyDeleteI have seen the movie and yes there is a lot of action. Like a lot. I don't know how one would put that in a book. I may read this just for the fact that I liked the movie a lot. Well anyways great blog.
ReplyDeleteI have seen the movie and it is very action packed, I have never really thought about reading the books because i don't really know how the author could have describe what i saw in the movie with words, would you recommend this book? do you think that this book is better that the movie?
