I have been wanting to read this series for aaages and so Im glad that Ive finally started. I was quite surprised how different this was to the TV series. Temperance Brennan was a completely different character. I think I like the book version better - she is more believable and relatable. The murder-mystery in this book was well written and well plotted. While some parts did get quite technical and scientific, it wasnt overly frequent. Also being from the mid-90s, reading this really made meChrist, was it a struggle to get through this book. When I read up on her books on Amazon it said "Better than Patricia Cornwell!!" so I thought DAMN this MUST be good, seeing as I loved many of PC's earlier novels. It sucked. Not only did it suck... but it sucked hardcore. I was halfway through the book and still couldn't keep track of who half of the characters were. I dreaded anytime a conversation ended because that meant she was about to start one of her endlessly descriptive blurbs.Don't
2.5 / 5 starswarning to anybody & everybody who wants to read this because it's the series Bones is based on. don't do it. there is literally zero parallels between the book and tv series, apart from the main character sharing a name. no quirky side characters, attractive & hilarious FBI agents or banter. Seriously, stay away. This book has no Booth, Zack, Angela, Hodgins, Sweets or any of your other well loved characters. Even Temperance Brennan holds none of the familiar and well loved
This was very difficult for me to get through. Not because of the scary content. While yes, the content is quite dark and grossly disturbing, that is not what set me back. This is an extreme procedural novel. Generally I do not mind, however I have never come across the likes of a book where at least half of the novel is spent in explaining procedures. In this case, specific to bone analysis, knife/blades and finger prints. At some point, I think the author must ask themselves, does it feel like
64th book read in 2016.Number 129 out of 557 on my all time book list.Review Pending:
I am only sorry for waiting so long to read it. Great story! I think KR does have a sense of humor and I loved all of the technical stuff. Another series added to my list.
I had a good time reading this book, it's my second read by Reichs and I'm looking forward to more. I like the thriller feel, the fast paced action and even the gory details and suspense parts that keep you on the edge of your seat regarding what's going to happen next. The plot revolves around the discovery of human remains that Brennan quickly relates to another murder whose victim she has come in contact with in the past. As the police doesn't seem to give credence to her serial murder theory
