Who knew books and movies with the same title could be totally different stories??????So I'm about 350 pages into the Bourne Identity book (since I'm such a huge fan of the movies) by Robert Ludlum, and am still waiting for the book to be like the movie - other than his name (Jason Bourne), her name (Marie), and the agency (Treadstone), there really isn't much the book and movie have in common. Maybe I'm just not to the part where they are the same yet...it could be coming so we'll see...
After watching the latest Bourne movie (Ultimatum), arguably the best so far, I realized there was a lot of back story we were missing by only watching the movies. J and Tay got me the set of books for Christmas so I was pretty pumped to get a chance to figure out all the stuff they didn't tell us in the movies - apparently that was pretty much the entire book.
I had heard they were different, but I guess I didn't realize how completely different they were. Maybe it will all come full circle when I read the last 150 pages or so. With the first book being so completely different, I'm curious to see how the next 2 will be...
Here's to hoping...

Thats the problem with this series. The movies are completely different from the movies. And as the movies go along they get further away from the books I have heard. I haven't read the books yet, and I have yet to see Ultimatum, so I could be talking out of my sphincter. If this comment should teach you anything, that should be never listen to me. :)
