The Bourne Identity, Week 1

Welcome to Week 1 of the Online Book Club discussion of The Bourne Identity

The Online Book Club, if you've never joined us before, is a book discussion group that takes place entirely online. Each week, I write a new blog post that talks about different aspects of the book, and you can interact directly with me and other readers by leaving your comments. Check back each week and see what new topics we're talking about.

In The Bourne Identity, a man washes onshore with absolutely no memory. He doesn't know who he is or where he came from. All his rescuers know is that he seems to have an affinity for fighting, his face has been altered by plastic surgery, and he has a microfilm implanted in his hip. Who is this man and why does it seem like people are looking for him? What dangerous things are hidden in his past? This book is incredibly exciting and action packed! I know you'll love reading it! 

If you want to follow along with us but you aren't interested in reading the book, you can always watch the movie version starring Matt Damon. Check out the trailer above if you want to get a feel for the how the story plays out on screen. Feel free to still leave comments on the blog posts, even if you're only watching the series and not reading the book. 

We'll be reading the first twelve chapters for next week, so make sure to check those out before reading the next blog post!
