superhero superheroOG 2004

I have read many books which I have disliked - usually becuase the story becomes too drawn out and pointless, and does nothing to develop the plot, or contribute to my caring about the characters.

One book that comes to mind is the Borne Supremecy. I saw Borne Identity, I love to read, so I thought "hey great, this'll be good". Man, was I wrong. About page 500, I realized - there is no more point to this story. It's 250 pages too long. WHYYYYY. So I put the book away, never to be looked at again. (Although, I did read most of the book in about 2 days.)

nope. i didn't. should i? hopefully it wasn't so drawn out. borne gets hunted. someone gets kidnapped. there's a fight. borne escapes. borne gets hunted. arghhhhhh

You just started reading the trilogy in the middle? The first book is the best. And the movies are pretty much just "inspired" by the books, not so much based on them. If you liked The Bourne Supremacy at all, you owe it to yourself to read The Bourne Identity.

i read the first two in the series... difficult reading (for me anyway) but very interesting. And yeah, the movies are cool, but not even close to the books
