The Bourne Series (novel)/YMMV


 * Adaptation Displacement : A textbook example, as the movies have pretty much replaced the books.
 * Badass Decay: In the books, Lustbader changes Bourne from an unstoppable juggernaut into a whining wimp who wouldn't win without outside help. See Flanderization on the Literature page.
 * Fanon Discontinuity/Sequelitis: The novels written by Eric van Lustbader after Ludlum's death.
