1.0 out of 5 stars a letdown, 22 Aug 2008
None of the strength and pace of Robert Ludlums work. To me a poor effort at cashing in on the name "Bourne", and providing further stories for the film series.
I persevered and read it all but did not really enjoy it at all...... I would have expected much more from Lustbader who has done some brilliant and strong work in his own right.
Bourne does not take well to the writer....... No depth to any of the characters........

1.0 out of 5 stars Bourne Catastrophe, 17 Jul 2008
If you are a fan of Robert Ludlum or have enjoyed the Bourne films, then just don't read this book. It is a desperately lame letdown that completely fails to capitalise on literary prowess of Ludlum or the cinematic excellence of the Bourne movies.

The plot is threadbare, and at times entirely transparent, relying on contrived twists that are about as subtle as an ice cream van approaching a primary school. The style is clunky at best and for the most part painful to read, leaving you wondering whethe Lustbader actually put pen to paper, or whether this was generated by a not very elaborate thriller writing program, that simply takes a wealth of B-movie cliches and spits them out in something vaguely resembling a book.

It has clearly been written with a film in mind, but unfortunately straight to DVD and into the bargain bucket. The style, language, action are all a let down; none invoke the tension and drama that you would associate with Bourne.

It is a real shame that the publishers felt this was worthy of being part of the Bourne brand, but if I'd have know what I was picking up as an airport thriller, I'd have left well alone and not tarnished everything I've enjoyed about Bourne so far.

1.0 out of 5 stars An insult to the Ludlum legend, 25 Jul 2008
By richard Brown (Lincon UK) - See all my reviews
Why the Ludlum estate allows this author to destroy Robert Ludlum's greatest character is beyond me. It is such a shame. Poorly written,badly plotted, terrible dialogue and dreadful characterisation.The original trilogy will soon be extended to a 6th Bourne novel. If you loved Robert Ludlum's novels then do not read this.

Although this was action packed, it ended up by leaving me cold and very disappointed. This was clearly written as a screenplay first and a novel second. Read more
