Sorry if you loved this book, I HATED it. Maybe it was above my reading level. There were just too many "alpha, bravo,cain, delta...Cain is for Charlie, Delta is for Cain!" This book put me to sleep so many nights it is surprising that I finished it. I just kept hoping that jason bourne would die...Good thing I shop at Goodwill and it only cost me 50 cents! Everyone tells me that I should give the movie a chance and that it is better than the book, but I ask, won't it remind me of the book and bring all those bad memories back?

That said, the movie is NOTHING like the book except the vague idea of the story (e.g. amnesia, Spec Ops type soldier, names and places).
I enjoyed the movies too, but they are not the same story.

Still, picturing Matt Damon helps it along :)
