    "Not bad but..."
    Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

    It was a pretty good read, however its not worth spending 2 credits on it. I would rather get my credit back and listen to something else


    Did The Bourne Identity inspire you to do anything?

    Yes, to take the rest of the series off my wish list, just not worth the 2 credits

    "An audible credit thrown down the drain!"

    One of the few times in over a decade of listening to Audible, that I felt that I had wasted my money.

    "Huge dissapointment!"

    WOW! How rare is it that Hollywood does the story better than the book?
    Brooding by Bourne that drones on and on, unbelievable decisions by characters and nearly zero literary technique equals a big waste of 2 credits! I know you are curious but don't say I didn't warn you...

    "worst narrator ever!!"

    I have downloaded other books read by Brick and could never finish them. I will make sure never to download another book with him as the narrator.!!

    "The movie was much better"

    I was very happy to find the Bourne Identity at Audible. I saw the movie years ago and had always wanted to listen to the book. Unfortunately this is one of the rare cases where the screenplay (written by Tony Gilroy and William Blake Herron) is actually much better than the original book.

    The narration is very good, but the story is very complicated (much more than the movie) and Bourne is not at all the same character we saw in the movie. The book's Bourne is a much darker and less skilled character. My advice would be to skip the book and rent the movie again.
