Review # 1 was written on 2008-06-09 00:00:00 Gustavo Adolfo Funes I started watching the TV show "Bones" (on Fox) last season, but I had known that the show was based on Kathy Reichs character Temperance Brennan. That's about all the similarities that there are between the TV show and the book. You could stretch and say that Quebec Detective Ryan is Seely Booth, but that's reeealllyyy reaching it. I like a good mystery, detective novel, and this book does not fail me! Not only is there a nice chunk of CSI thrown in there is also one of my favorite topics, cults. So we've got murder to be investigated, suspects to interview and cults to figure out. LOVE IT! I zipped through this book pretty quickly. Reichs is a fine writer, and the character of Dr. Brennan is a little more socially adept than the TV version. If you like the show, you'll most likely like the book too just as long as you realize that there is absolutely nothing in the book that lends itself to the TV show.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-01-14 00:00:00 Jonathan Gould I’m really struggling to separate these books from the TV show, though I found that I enjoyed this one more than the first book. Maybe I’m starting to get use to this original Temperance... These are the types of books that I normally enjoy, so I’m a little disappointed that it hasn’t hooked me as much as the show. I reckon I’d should give it a sizeable gap between finishing watching all the episodes then returning to theses books at a later date.
