I genuinely have never wanted to die more while reading a book... well, three books I guess. If my memory serves correctly, there are about 960-970 pages in this trilogy, and only the very last 50 were fun to read. Everything else was... well, I vehemently dislike it. I'm sure that books 4-6 were written to collect more money from the original series. While I have not read 1-3, I am most likely not going to, as these incredibly dull books have completely ruined Jason Bourne as a book series for me. I'm not going to go into detail for just how painful these books were for me to read, because I'd just... rather forget, in all honesty.
