Summary: Another Ludlum Blockbuster
Review: The Bourne Supremacy is the second in the Bourne Trilogy. Robert Ludlum has captured the scenery of China to a masterpiece of danger, excitement, and thrills during every page of this book.Jason Bourne, a paid assassin is back in China. Or is he? A man who still is not quite sure who he is goes to China and murders begin to happen. Could Jason be the killer? Or is there another Jason Bourne? Or maybe even a different murderer who wants everybody to think Jason is the killer? This is definitely an excellent sequel, and I would recommend this book to anyone who has read the first one.

Summary: Stupid contrived story
Review: This is the second book in the Bourne series. The first was pretty exciting. This second one starts out pretty good, with several different factions fighting for unknown reasons. Bourne (and his woman) are caught in the middle and he and the reader don't know who is on whose side. But the whole thing ends up in a contrived mess. Although Bourne doesn't know the good guys from the bad guys, he miracuously only kills the bad guys while just knocking out the good guys. It is also pretty silly that Bourne, a white guy, can move so freely around the Asian underworld. The agony his life goes through gets pretty tiring after awhile. Since the story takes place in Asia, there is the obligatory Asian friend who gets killed. An Asian woman or child in an action story has a lower life expectancy than a black guess star in an old Star Trek episode. This was always been a cheesy, easy way out. Any good hero couldn't just leave his Asian friend in Asia, but trying to get the Asian friend out of Asia would complicate the story too much. So, just kill her off when she is no longer needed. While it would be very helpful to read the first book (Bourne Identity) to understand this second book, this second book adds nothing to the series and really isn't necessary to understand the third book. The first and third books deal with finding the assassin, Carlos. This second book has very little to do with that.
Rating: 
Summary: Not nearly as good as the first!
Review: What ever happens to Carlos? I could not enjoy the book after realizing the tale of Carlos would be left untold. The book has an almost lame, drawn out plot,and lacks the bite and surprises that made The Bourne Identity one of the best books I have ever read. I think Ludlum should have left good enough alone and not writen a sequel. It doesn't even seem like Jason Bourne is in this book because all the mysteries that made the first book great are solved and that aspect of a Jason Bourne story can never be replaced.
Rating: 
Summary: Action Packed
Review: This book was not a let down. I would have expected that it might have been, because it was the second book in the series, but Bourne Supremacy didn't let me down. The characters are multidimenssional, even the supporting characters. And the character Jason Bourne, what can i say Ludlum did an excellent job in combining, part scholar part "assasin" . This is a great book to read, full of fast paced action. I enjoyed it.
Rating:
Summary: Ludlum's "identity" is "supreme". An "ultimatum", indeed!
Review: Once you read one of his book you'll want to read another, and another, and another. Mr. Ludlum is my favorite writer. And you will too, once you get to read his books, become one of Ludlum's avid and excited reader. Isn't that why they are all bestsellers!You'll surely have fun reading and would flip through the pages with eagerness. I recommend you try and I promise, you'll enjoy one after the other.

Summary: Great!!!
Review: This book is just great.....but so are the other 2 in the series. It was this trilogy that hooked me on to Robert Ludlum's works. His writing makes the characters come alive. In this trilogy Jason Bourne is too good to be true ... almost a superhero, although not without his faults. I thought it was a pretty multidimensional character.

Rating:
Summary: Too long, sometimes confusing.
Review: That could have been a very good book but why does it need 200 pages or so before taking off ? There are good parts, there are also some confusing ones that make the reader not really believe in the scenario. I prefered the first one of the series.
Rating:
Summary: As good as the first
Review: I liked this book as good as his first in the series. I liked the action and hardship our hero had to endure. Did he sleep at all in the whole book? And poor Echo. Anyways, good job and I look forward to the third.

Summary: One of the best books I've read, if not the best
Review: Jason Bourne is one of the people you'd like to see come to life. Maybe one day, they'll make a movie on him.. James Bond.... if you put him next to Bourne.. Ludlum has given Bourne a touch of reality, which I have seen no other author do.. The mystery, the intrigue, the story.. the book is sooo good, you wouldn't want to put it down.. Jason Bourne returning to his past.. When you read it, you can actually picture it happen.. I would read a few chapters before sleeping, and I would dream about the things he did.. The only reason this book gets a 9 is that I haven't read the Bourne Identity & the Bourne Ultimatum.. I passed a great opportunity to read the Bourne Identity which was with me for a whole 8 months.. until I returned it to a friend.. I never got beyond Page 28 of that book.. Robert Ludlum is THE BEST AUTHOR you'll ever FIND.. and The Bourne trilogy is his best accomplishment.. I don't know if he's alive, and if he is, I'd love to see more of Jason Bourne.. even if Bourne is a grandfather in the next book...
