So in the next pages I've read into The Bourne Legacy were more focused on the nameless man, who we later find out that his last name is Bourne. Anyways, to summarize what I read very briefly...
- the nameless man beats up a bunch of fisherman on their ship because he got hit in the sun don't shine
- he needs to get out of town because he beat up those fisherman real good and he doesn't want their relatives and friends to come after him
- he leaves Washburn (sad) and leaves toward Zurich, where the chip found in his body suggested he go to in order to find out about his past
- while gathering supplies to head to Zurich he stops by a few towns, stealing money and clothes from a rich guy and creating a fake passport
- he is still confused as to how he did that
I left off on the man reaching a hotel in Zurich to find that he's actually been there before and the hotel manager welcomes him back as a good customer, addressing the man as "Bourne".
These pages I've read into really made me more interested in the character "Bourne". They made me think back to Washburn's words to his patient, saying that his abilities will gradually come back but with no memory of how he obtained them. This makes me wonder just how much Bourne will be able to do once he has obtained all of his previous abilites. He's already shown tremendous skill in combat as well as having good survival skills.
Another thing I like is that the author does a very good job in characterizing Bourne. From the chapters I've read recently the point of view has changed to first person, and Ludlum does a good job in using this. During his episodes of when he displays his previous abilities, whether it be fighting against three different people at once or gathering information from a conversation at the opposite side of the room, you can see that his mind turns nearly blank. After, Bourne always ends up confused in how he did the things he did. He even starts to fear his past and his abilities.
That's all I've gotten through right now in this book. With the semester nearly at an end you can probably expect more content in these posts since I'll basically be reading non-stop. Anyways, until next post.

| If you're curious as to where Zurich is, here's a map. Bourne came to Zurich from France. |
