1. Right now in my book, Jason Bourne has just been caught by the police in Zurich, Switzerland. He was trying to escape Zurich and the police because they were after him for a murder. These police are no ordinary police officers though. They are part of a special branch of the Zurich police. They are more like proffesional spies than cops. They have been hunting Bourne all night for a suspected murder and they finally trapped him.

2. So far I think the book is great. It is a challenge and can be confusing at times but it seems like my kind of book. There is always action going on such as chases and gunfights. It is very suspenseful and never is boring.

3. The theme in the book so far has alot to do with memory. Jason Bourne, at the beginning of the book, wakes up and does not know who he is, where he is from or any kind of detail from his past at all. He finds a bank account number that belongs to him that belongs to a bank in Zurich. He retraces his steps in order to jog his memory and slowly, he finds out more about himself and his past.

4. My favorite character so far is Jason Bourne for many reasons. He is obviously extremely well trained but he doesn't remember any of his past so he doesn not know how he can do all the amazing things he does. He is an expert on all types of weapons and is an extremely skilled fighter. But all this knowledge comes as a shock to him because he has no memory. He is also very good in intense situations. Even if multiple people attack him and he is unarmed, he still finds a way to win and always get out of the situation.

5. My least favorite character is the policeman hunting Bourne. Jason Bourne is just trying to recover his identity and the policeman is always after him. No matter what Bourne does, he cannot escape. Jason isn't even the bad guy but even he himself doesn't know that yet.

6. I think that next in this book, Jason will find a way to escape from the policemen and buy some more time to be able to continue retracing his steps and uncover his past. But the police won't just give up. They'll catch up to him again soon.
