Have you read both the book and listened to audiobook? Would you recommend the audiobook over the reading book

So I love the movies - have the 4k collection now after upgrading from DVD. I tried reading the first book and I just couldn't. I felt like there were a lot of names of locations, none of which were familiar to me, and it got hard to follow. Perhaps that was that particular section of the book, but I put it down and never got back into it.

With that said, can anyone speak to if this book (and the third) are similar to that? I am not a big time reader so it does make it harder to finish books that lose my interest for too many pages.

The books are quite different to the movies. Only some parts were adapted. I read the books first before the movies came out.

I get that, but is it the same thing where it's like "they are on street x" and now on "street y" with no understanding of how those streets interact or their proximity to one another?

The books are different but are also a great story. I went though the audiobooks for these and I am glad I did, it was easier to follow the stories that way for me.

The first book was basically assassin verse assassin Carlos was the big bad. The movie didn't barely mention his name. Books are really better than the movies.

The movie is free on Prime.

Watched it again last night.

Haven't gotten around to reading them. I know the books are probably better, but I have an aversion to reading something when I know I can get just as much enjoyment out of watching it.

The first 3, from Ludlum were great. After Ludlum passed and Lustbader took over, I struggled with the next 2 and stopped. The naming made it extremely difficult to keep track of who's who. For example, this is a sentence describing the plot of The Borne Betrayal: "Lindros is then kidnapped by the terrorist leader, Fadi, one of the leaders of Dujja. Fadi's real name is Abu Ghazi Hadir al-Jamuh ibn Hamid ibn Ashef al-Wahhib. His brother, Karim al-Jamil and he are the leaders of Dujja." it's like that through the whole book, and that's just 2 of the characters.

Yes! I feel like that was happening in the part I remember from the 1st giving up on. I don't think it was quite that bad though.

I read reviews with others mentioning this too.

I think it's why usually when these go on sale, they try to get people to get hooked on the Ludlum ones and hope readers will be interested enough to get the other ones in the series too.

I've got 3 or 4 of the books, but not much interest in reading any of them.

The first Bourne Identity movie released in 1988 was very close to the novel. The Bourne Identity (Matt Damon) released in 2002 and the one everyone is familiar with, deviates largely from the novel.
