THE BOURNE DECEPTION
Written by Ludlum/Lustbager (sp?)

It's not often I don't finish a book, even if I'm not crazy about it. But I got as far as page 65 and could not get enthused about it. The print seems too light on some pages, and there are just too many names of people and places I could not pronounce, and it became tedious trying.

The characters are stiff and I seem not to be able to care about them.

Everybody has different taste...maybe some of you just loved this book.

place. Turned it back in.

3. Was it a paperback?
Because I don't even give them a glance any more - print too small, it's all just too cramped and uncomfortable.

Actually, Ludlum's books are better as movies. I loved the "Bourne" movies................

5. It was a hardback..
According to my list that I started keeping over a year ago, I have read ALL of the Bourne books, the best being the Ludlum written.

This one just isn't up to snuff.

7. Ludlum's writing has been going downhill since he died.
