About this listen
Now a classic film, The Bourne Identity is Robert Ludlum's first exploration into the bewildering and chilling world of Jason Bourne. Exciting, fast-paced and powerfully written, you won't escape unchanged.
He was dragged from the sea, his body riddled with bullets. There are a few clues: a frame of microfilm surgically implanted beneath the skin of his hip; evidence that plastic surgery has altered his face; strange things he says in his delirium, which could be code words. And a number on the film negative that leads to a bank account in Zurich, four million dollars, and a name for the amnesiac: Jason Bourne. Now he is running for his life.
A man with an unknown past and an uncertain future, the target of assassins and at the heart of a deadly puzzle. He's fighting for survival and no one can help him - except the one woman who once wanted to escape him....

Five star story
Robert Ludlum and Scott Brick held me in thrall from beginning to end. I had seen the film before listening to this and was not sure. But, I'm glad I did. Scott Brick's narration was excellent and gave life to all the characters. I loved it and will be listening to it again.

Gripping at times
Very good book that is performed well. It’s gripping at times but does get a bit slow. Would still highly recommend and will be listening to the next book in the series

gripping!
Don't expect the film. As always the book is better.
I usually listen to books going to and from work but found myself listening in the house.
Sorry to my wife xx

A good listen
You can relate the film to the book and I enjoyed both. I just wish I had listened to this before I saw the film, never the less I didn't but still enjoyed it greatly. I do rate the Bourne film trilogy as extremely watchable, so it will be interesting to see how I feel about the second book?
If you like this sort of theme you will like this.

Book great , narrator ? hmmm
The narrators vocal inflections were very wrong at times often confusing changes in time place person or action. A fast paced story that didn't feel as long as it was which is the sign of a good book. Hopefully the narrator will improve.

Jason Bourne, role model for hero’s
Scott Brick’s narration is peerless. Robert Ludlum admitted he had a volatile temperament, this comes across in his novels. If you want feel truly alive read the Bourne series and other Ludlum novels

Very Good
I loved this story after watching the movie years ago and listening to this a 4th time I still love the style of writing Ludlum did. The way characters interact is incredible. Obviously this story is better and first time I read it I was blown away..still do plus it leaves me wanting more which is a great thing. The narrator does an excellent job with accents and names perfectly and I’d listen to him again easily.

Great story, but wooden narrator, takes a while to get going but worth the wait
