chloefrizzle 's review for:

The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum
2.0

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS BOOK:
- Fantastic setup of Bourne losing his memory
- The answer of who Bourne really is is much more complicated and interesting than you might expect; some great plot twists there
- The heroine, Marie, is so competent and awesome. (Bourne is also awesome, but that's secondary.)

WHAT I HATE ABOUT THIS BOOK:
- It's twice as long as it needs to be. Very slow, with not enough happening
- Bourne repeatedly disrespects Marie and disregards her opinions even tho she's always right
- The twists aren't nearly as interesting on a reread
