Bourne to Thrill
The Bourne Identity starring Matt Damon was an incredible film, but I thought the original novel by Robert Ludlum was even better. This book is so well-written, I didn't want to finish it! The plot is gripping right from the start. When we first meet the lead character, Jason Bourne, he is being rescued from the sea. His identity is a mystery to everyone, including himself! Over the course of the novel we gradually find out who Bourne is, and follow him through a series of exciting adventures. As well as a highly original plot line, the novel includes a number of fascinating characters, especially the villains! I only have one negative comment: in my view, the novel is strong on action but weaker on description. However, this is a small criticism of an otherwise excellent book. I would highly recommend The Bourne Identity to anyone who enjoys action or crime stories. However, if you prefer more descriptive or romantic novels, then you should give it a miss. Personally, I can't wait to start reading the sequel!
- Observă limbajul descriptiv și cum menține atenția cititorului.
- La film/carte, bun vs rău pot sta în paragrafe separate; la restaurant, fiecare paragraf poate amesteca plusuri și minusuri pe un aspect.
