Helpful Score: 2
The only similarity between the TV series "Bones" and this book's main character is their occupation. This does not, however, take away from either.
Kathy Reichs introduces Temperence Brennan (Tempe) while only revealing basic characteristics. Intelligent and competent as a forensic anthropologist, Tempe has a tendancy to make rash decisions and is a bit of a loner when it comes investigating a case. As a divorced mother, she is vulnerable and has misgivings about her personal life. I look forward to seeing how Reichs developes her.
My only negitive comment has to do with all the similies and metaphores that Reichs uses. There are so many of them in the first part of the book that I nearly stopped reading. They are creative and accurate, but there are too many. It was as if Reichs was trying to use all she had just in case this book was her only one.
