The Bourne books

[Hector]

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone has read any of the the bourne trilogy (The books that are the basis of the movie)

[adam88]

Actually I haven't, and I was wondering about them myself.  I mean are the books more drker or somethig?, because normally when a book or books is made into a film, the original books seem to have a darker, and more grittier side to them.

[Hector]

Thanx people. I really asked this question because apparently Robert Ludlum (the original author) got heaps of awards. His books are generally easy to find but I needed to know if it's worth reading them

I've read the first 2 books.  They're great - fast reading.  Recommended.

[Hector]

Thanx pierangler, I'll be sure to get them.

I didnt even realise the movies were based on books  But hey they are great and i'm looking forward to watching the third very soon.

Oh man, I didn't even know this was based on a book, I thought it was an original screenplay.  If I find them I will by them for sure.
