    If they like Reichs then they should listen not read


    Would you listen to another book narrated by Linda Emond?

    Absolutely


    Did Bones Are Forever inspire you to do anything?

    "Thoroughly enjoyed this read and it's narration."
    What did you love best about Bones Are Forever?

    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.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    Tempe clobberin' the guy with a shovel.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    When they shot that poor kid who didn't even understand what was happening.


    Any additional comments?

    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"
    What did you like best about Bones Are Forever? What did you like least?

    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.


    What was most disappointing about Kathy Reichs’s story?

    Dr. Brennan's role as psuedo lone ranger detective.


    Would you be willing to try another one of Linda Emond’s performances?

    Yes


    Do you think Bones Are Forever needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

    Please don't.

    What did you like best about Bones Are Forever? What did you like least?

    The book was well performed. Good pace of the reading


    Has Bones Are Forever turned you off from other books in this genre?

    It was long and technical. Over descriptive in places.


    Was Bones Are Forever worth the listening time?

    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.

    "Not the best!"
    Would you try another book from Kathy Reichs and/or Linda Emond?

    I typically LOVE Kathy Reichs books from the Brennan series.


    What could Kathy Reichs have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

    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.


    Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Linda Emond?

    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.


    Any additional comments?

    I hope that this isn't a trend for the series!

    "Not one of her best efforts."
    Would you try another book from Kathy Reichs and/or Linda Emond?

    Yes, love her books, just not thrilled with this one.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Always Brennen. She has it all and helps others too.


    What aspect of Linda Emond’s performance would you have changed?

    Nothing, she is a great narrator. Clear and easy to understand.


    If this book were a movie would you go see it?

    No


    Any additional comments?

    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.

    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    Yes, not enough free time to do it, but the interest was there.

    "One of the best in this series!"
    If you could sum up Bones Are Forever in three words, what would they be?

    Thorough, interesting and educational!


    Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

    Yes, Reichs always has Tempe into things that she shouldn't be doing!


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    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.
