Luisa Fernanda –
This book sucked harder than a Hoover.
I love the Bourne Identity movies, and I figured Robert Ludlum is a famous author, so I figured this would be a fun read. Unfortunately, I didn’t notice that Ludlum’s name is just put on top in big letters because he or his estate own the copyright to the Bourne series, and this book was written by (in small print) Eric Van Lustbader. So I still don’t know how good a writer Ludlum is.
What I do know is that Lustbader doesn’t know squat about character development, believable dialog or the fundamentals of decent storytelling. His is the most egregious use I have ever encountered of «As you know, Bob» storytelling: i.e., the unnatural use of characters to describe story background even though there’s absolutely no need for people to relate stuff that characters in a novel should already know.
Here’s how that goes: «As you know, Bob, these terrorists have stolen a cargo of high-energy triggers typically used in manufacturing but also in the detonation of nuclear devices.»
Bad.
Bad.
BAAAAAAAAAAD.
