I recently finished 'The Aquitane Progression' by Robert Ludlum.
I didn't think it was as good as some of his others.  It took 
me two days to read instead of the usual all-nighter. 
    
The subject of Ludlum has probably been done before but I haven't
seen anything (I've only been reading net.books for a couple of
months).  Does anybody else have any opinions on Ludlum's books,
style, grammar, etc...
   
I personally like him and I think his recent books are his best 
ones.  My favorites are 'The Matarese Circle', 'The Chancellor
Manuscript', and 'The Bourne Identity'.  I don't think Ludlum
can compare to Orwell, or Dickens in terms of "classic writing" but 
for a good action-packed book that is entertaining, I don't think
there are many that can compare.
