Title: Pass the Excedrin
Review: I listened to the abridged CD version and after getting through the first CD without ever hearing the narating character identify himself I returned it. I read Robert Ludlum on a regular basis, so I consider myself to be someone who can follow a complex story line, but this wasn't so complex as it was just all over the place. Perhaps this could be attributed to the abridgement, but the story jumped from scene to scene without any flow, the characters had no development (some of them seemed to appear from nowhere). Ironically, there was a vast amount of time dedicated to a particular event in the beginning that seemed to have no connection to any other part of the story. Perhaps the book is better, but don't waste your time on the abridged CD. If the book doesn't grab you in the first few chapters, I probably wouldn't waste my time on the effort to finish it - unless you have an overwhelming desire to give yourself a headache.
