Ready, Set, Go: The Bourne Ultimatum by Robert Ludlum



This book does not reflect the movie. 


Synopsis:
 
Morris Panov and Alex Conklin go to this carnival as directed by Jason Bourne.  All of the sudden shots are fired and both know this is a trap.    A message is left by the Jackal that he is after Jason Bourne and his family. Alex gets in contact with Jason and warns his family.  The Jackal is back and wants Bourne’s family dead.   He sends Marie and the kids to his brother in-law’s resort to stay safe.  Will they really be safe?
Meanwhile Jason meets up with Alex in D.C.  They start investigating the Jackal and the question is Medusa involved?  Through a series of events Medusa proves to be more involved than they thought. 

My Thoughts:

I read this novel, and thought it was better written than the prior two books.  I felt that I understood what events were taken place in the story.   I was interested in seeing if Jason would get the Jackal.   I found the book slow in places and full of detail.   I find books that include this much detail tend to lose my interest.  I was satisfied in the end and glad the trilogy is over with.

The movie the Bourne Ultimatum focuses on events that take place in the book the Bourne Identity.  There is nothing in this book that is remotely related to the movie.  You must realize the story is different but yet enjoyable..

If you are interested in continuing in this series; Eric Van Luster picks up where Ludlum left off with the Bourne Betrayal.

Rating:
3/5

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa fro...

The Importance of Complex Characters By Jacqueline Friedland

Photo by Rebecca Weiss A couple of years ago, there was a debate in the literary world about “likeable” characters.   The question, essentially, boiled down to this: must a character be unpleasant, whether angry or aggressive, selfish, or all gloom-and-doom in order to be taken seriously as a literary character?   When the debate arose, the focus was primarily on female characters— if a female protagonist has too many redeemable qualities as a person, does this detract from her substance as a character in a story?   This query nagged at me and took on a new shape during my writing Trouble the Water , as I watched my two main protagonists undergo journeys of personal growth that left them both decidedly more pleasant than the people they were when the story began.   The question I needed to answer was whether depth and meaning are negated by personal recoveries? My own take, as a reader, is that if I am going to spend hours reading a novel, hanging out with cha...
