Summary: One of the Few
Review: I may be the one guy out there that does not like his books. What makes me mad is that I have gone through about three of them because he gets some much good press. I find the writing wooden and he just does not hold my attention. I also did not like the location, I thought it would be interesting but I started to think I was with Jim Jones. Maybe I just have a mental block with him and the movies will be better.

Summary: Just as good as the first
Review: The Bourne story continues in the action packed Bourne Supremacy. This book is faster moving then the first. It takes place in the Far East. The place of Jason Bourne's past and where the legend of Jason Bourne first originated.David Webb (Jason Bourne) is now a professor at a college and maried to Marie. But Marie is tragically taken away from David and kidnapped into Asia. David knows he must now become Jason Bourne if there is any chance of bringing her back to him. The only way for Jason to get Marie back is to bring her captors an imposter Jason Bourne. A man who killed the Chinese Vice Premier posing as the legendary Jason Bourne. what better way to catch the fake then with the original? I realy enjoyed this book. Jason has now aged from the first book The Bourne Idenity but still has his killer instinct and is in very good shape. The only thing I did not like about the book was Jason's villian. No longer the famous assain Carlos but someone different the imposter Jason Bourne. I thought this was strange as Ludlum never closed out the story with Carlos. Little is added in this book you need to know in order to read the third book The Bourne Ultimatum. But all in all an Excellent book with an Excellent plot. A must read for any Bourne fan!

Summary: An interesting concept, credibility overstretched
Review: Had the location been set in an Occidental society, it would have been great. But in xenophobic Chinese dominant environments, Jason Bourne would have stuck out as a sore thumb and would never have been able to camouflage himself from Chinese who hunt him. That aside, the author's Chinese translations were atrocious. He was savvy enough to know the people spoke mainly Cantonese in Hong Kong, but Mandarin is usually only spoken well in the north of China. Some of his swearings and curses were laughable. For example, no Chinese would use "Dong Wu" to curse someone as animals, because "Dong Wu" had no such connotation. Instead, they would use "Cu Sheng" or "Qin Shou" (meaning brutes, or beasts). The author should have researched more carefully, and get native Chinese-ethics for input and feedback.

Summary: Holy Cowly Great!!!
Review: Do you remember me? Bourne seems to be asking this question as Ludlum introduces him yet again to us in a heart-stopping, action-packed scene-after-scene narrative. Yes, I do remember you! This is a terrifying journey into the world of espionage. Ludlum comes across as a former CIA incarnate in his detailed analysis of information---it makes me wonder what government he served...besides the Martians of course! Great story, memorable even.

Summary: Great Book for a great series
Review: The Bourne Supremacy was a good book, even though the beginning was a little slow. The Bourne Identity defienetly had a better beginning. But Supremacy kept up the action throughout the whole book, making it a great read. I recommend this book to anyone who like thrillers, action, or espionage.

Summary: Wow.
Review: SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: READING THIS BOOK CAN CAUSE SLEEPLESSNESS AND LOST PRODUCTIVITY -- not to mention gnawed fingernails. Bourne/Webb/Delta/et al. is not your normal "superhero", so if you like books where every character but the hero and his love interest die, stop reading right now. On the other hand, if you enjoy a psychological journey into the Far East, you'll find this one a treat. Mr. Ludlum writes darn well, and at some points could almost get a job at the New York Times. The plot does get somewhat convoluted, especially at 2 AM, but all in all, it is quite a satisfying read -- no matter what you think of the CIA, State Dept., MI-6, and their minions.

Summary: An Exciting Book!
Review: This is another great book from Robert Ludlum. The legendary assasin Jason Bourne reenters the world stage again by way of amultiple killings in the Far East. David Webb is thrust back into the picture after his wife is kidnapped. He becomes Jason Bourne in order to rescue. He discovers a plot for the Koumintang to reenter power in China thus plunging the world into war. Jason Bourne must defeat several villains in order to finally prevail. The leader of the forces of evil is a man named Sheng who is a powerful official in the government of China.This book has a grand finale that makes this a very readable book. As it has been pointed out in other reviews this book is very hard to put down. This is further proof that Ludlum is one of the best.

Summary: Different, but good
Review: Bourne is back! But is it the real Bourne? This one is filled with packed action. The twists aren't as many, but the tension and action zip along at a hasty pace. A great sequel to the awesome Bourne Identity. Read it.

Summary: Power-packed sequel!
Review: Jason Bourne is back, this time his life and recovery process from his memory loss in THE BOURNE IDENTITY is disrupted when the Chinese vice-premier is assassinated in Kowloon, and Bourne is indicted for his murder. Then his wife Marie is kidnapped and taken against her will to Hong Kong. Bourne travels out there, seeking help from Britain's MI6 and assorted Asian and American agents, and discovers a Triad plot to destabilise the Far East! In the process, he takes down several bad guys with his martial arts skills and the best in firearms from a Hong Kong dealer(a bit like Marler in a Colin Forbes book actually - he knows where to buy guns secretly!), and then Marie escapes of her own accord! Can they reunite? The trail eads Bourne to Beijing and more lethal encounters with baddie Sheng's henchmen, and the final climax detonates in Hong Kong, literally! This 700 page superthriller is one I could not put down, it is just as well-paced and action packed as the first BOURNE book. Now to read THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM!
