I’ve been a huge fan of the Bourne movies ever since watching Bourne Identity in the theatres all those years ago. Unfortunately, I’ve never been successful in finding the novels. Chapters never had stock, and I didn’t want to order it online and wait. Oddly enough, my favourite eBook provider (eReader) has never managed to get a copy of the book, either. Suffice to say, when I found Bourne Supremacy on the shelf with a zero-yen sticker price, I jumped at the chance to read the original concept for Jason Bourne and his war against everyone. We can only see and hear so much in a movie, and books have typically been far superior to anything I’ve seen on screen, so the 638 page book should have been an incredible journey with a man driven both by rage and a cold, calculating brain … right?

I’ll warn you now that I’m about to throw out a few differences between the movie and the book. If you don’t want me to spoil the plots for you, it might be a good idea to read some of my other posts on books or technology.
