review 1: The back and forth writing style bouncing around from character to character is tough for me to follow because I read in bits and spurts so it becomes hard to keep up. With that said the narrative is good, there are plenty of clear descriptions and I enjoyed some of the dialogue. With so many characters though it made some of the voices seem flat. There wasn't enough to fully develop who they were and so it was hard to get a read on what they'd look like, dress like, be doing in their world. Others like Bourne, Soraya and Moira were pretty well developed and clear. The story did come together in the end but it felt slow at times getting there. Again, this could be because I wasn't reading often but I also didn't race to get to the book either. Take that for what it is I su... moreppose. A decent novel but not one I'd likely read again and I probably won't continue reading the rest of the Bourne series.
review 2: I would have rated this higher, but it doesn't really END! Alas! One must read the sequel to get any satisfying resolutions. Still, I love Van Lustbader's villain - very complex. The action sequences are very vivid and the plot is good. I have come to appreciate the strong female characters that Bourne can't survive without. We edit the language as we read or I wouldn't be able to enjoy the book. less
