"Not the best"
Sort of, Brennan always entertains but too much information
If they like Reichs then they should listen not read
Absolutely
Read more Temperance Brennan
"Thoroughly enjoyed this read and it's narration."
It kept me guessing as to whodunit; who'd they do it to; who's the bones gonna be? Of course the why'd they do it was an unexpected delight.
Tempe clobberin' the guy with a shovel.
When they shot that poor kid who didn't even understand what was happening.
Hey Kathy, thank you for making my world more enjoyable. Also loved Linda Emond's narration; I can now read a few words in French and speak them with proper pronunciation, like Alberta and Yellowknife. Ha. Just kidding, Linda.
"Change of career or who's who"
I am generally a fan of this series, but in this book Brennan was portrayed as having some type of legal authority, the plot was slow, the characters unbelievable. Brennan was arrogant and lacked just plain common sense. This will most likely be my last read of the series.
Dr. Brennan's role as psuedo lone ranger detective.
Yes
Please don't.
"Dry and Long"
The book was well performed. Good pace of the reading
It was long and technical. Over descriptive in places.
Barely
"Good, but the series is losing it's luster."
I love the Bones series, but I think it may be time to retire. This book was okay, but not as engaging as most of the others.
"The book was fabulous!"
Captivating!
The very beginning of the book,sent goose bumps up my spine!
Temperance Brennan
The finding of the baby in the attic, really gave me chills especially the way it was spoken.
This is the first book I've listened to of Kathy Reichs, and I would recommend listening
to the Book "Bones Are Forever." Very good listen,with a lot of emotion.
"Not the best!"
I typically LOVE Kathy Reichs books from the Brennan series.
I would have like to feel more of the 'jointedness' I'm used to in these books. I didn't feel the sort of continuity I'm used to and, it seemed to me that the minutinae got in the way of the story.
I can't think of a specific narrator that I would choose.... but NOT Emond. The vocal characterisations werent consistent and seemed, at times, to be really flat.
I hope that this isn't a trend for the series!
"Not one of her best efforts."
Yes, love her books, just not thrilled with this one.
Always Brennen. She has it all and helps others too.
Nothing, she is a great narrator. Clear and easy to understand.
No
Of all the Reich's books about Brennen, This one has just too much detail. Some detail is good, but too much is boring. I find myself drifting off to think about other things. I want to be on the edge of my seat, as with the other books. The story line has merit, just too much on and on boring detail.
"A different slant to adventure and suspense"
In my top 10 personal favorites
The forensic detail and jargon, right to the point stuff.
Great, kept me wanting to get back to the story.
Yes, not enough free time to do it, but the interest was there.
I suggest you give this one a look.
"One of the best in this series!"
Thorough, interesting and educational!
Yes, Reichs always has Tempe into things that she shouldn't be doing!
I think it's interesting that Tempe's daughter is going to join the army, she skirted over that part, but I will be interested to see where that leads.
