Publisher's Summary

He is a man with an unknown past and an uncertain future. A man dragged from the sea riddled with bullets, his face altered by plastic surgery—a man bearing the dubious identity of Jason Bourne. Now he is running for his life, the target of professional assassins, at the center of a maddening, deadly puzzle.

Who is Jason Bourne? To answer that question, he must find the secret buried deep in his own past. And the only one who can help him is a beautiful stranger—the woman who once would do anything to escape him. Plus, hear a preview of Ludlum's riveting thriller The Bourne Ultimatum.

Returned it

You've heard it said "The book as way better than the movie" Well this is not one of those.
If you'r e hoping for a fleshed out story line similar to the movie you will be greatly dissapointed.

Irredeemable

This is unlistenable. Really, truly unlistenable. Don’t put yourself through this. Take it from someone who read all the bad reviews and decided to try it anyway: it really is that bad. The abridged plot is totally incoherent. Abandon all hope, ye who download this audiobook.

Chopped up version

I read the book before. It seems that they have taken some chapters out and chopped it up. also I could do without the artistic music to read the story. I would prefer if they just read the story as it is in the book.

A bit overly dramatic

The was a bit over dramatic and the music was distracting to the point it made the story hard to follow.

Wtf it’s hyper abridged

Dumb. It’s so short. Massively abridged hardly even a short story. Made for radio maybe?
