All 5-Stars - It Was Excellent Entertainment!
Robert Ludlum - Jason Bourne #1 - The Bourne Identity Audiobook: 22:21 Hours - Narrator: Scott Brick (2008)
I will be writing a review, which I will commence later this week, but in the meantime here are some of my Listening Activity comments:
03 Feb, 2024
"This is on TV tonight. I won't watch it, but I thought maybe I should listen to it again. I first read the paper-back in the early 1980s, at least once, and I think I listened to the audiobook once before in 2009. Not a high priority, but it might be fun to hear it again 40+ years since reading it."

"I started listening to The Bourne Identity after the required DNF of a book I have already forgotten!"
26 Feb, 2024 @ 25%
"Well, this is fun! First read over half a lifetime ago, my memory of reading The Bourne Identity is basically extinct. So far, listening to (a much younger) Scott Brick reading this audiobook has been a delight and kept me awake far too late last night!"
27 Feb, 2024 @ 37%
"I'm enjoying this, but...🤩, the dialogue is so repetitiously padded out! Forty odd years ago Ludlum wrote highly successful blockbusters (Bourne #1: 22+hours; #2: 27+ hours; #3: 29+ hours). I doubt if he could get away with it these days."
29 Feb, 2024 @ 51%
"Padded out by loquacious repetition or not, I am still enjoying this re-read of The Bourne Identity!"
06 Mar, 2024 @ 99%
"I am surprised by how much I enjoyed The Bourne Identity! I had read it in the early 80s, but I soon realised that I had not played the audiobook before. It was terrific entertainment and an excellent narration provided by a younger Scott Brick."

Love how you set out your Listening Activity Terence. Nice way to do it. I have not read any of the books but have seen the movies and quite enjoyed them for what they are. 😊 Hooray for your 5-star read!

Great review, Terence! Glad this earned all 5 stars from you! How thrilling! :)

Love seeing those 5 stars! This book is an oldie but goodie and so glad that it was a winner for you. A narration by a young Scott Brick is always a real treat. Fabulous review!
