stubbytate reviewed This didn't do it for me on 2/9/2009

The heroine was detailed, logical, calculating, and ..... boring.

I don't watch "Bones" nor have I read any other Temperance Brennan books so I make no comparisons. This book was the first I had read by Kathy Reichs so I'm starting out with a clean slate.

The forensic details are amazing. They are technical and precise - intuitive and direct. I think they ran a bit long and could have been summarized a bit better and still maintained their "point." The lecture hall discussion about motorcycle gangs was interesting but it was like reading Wikipedia.

I suppose if it wasn't dead and/or in need of analysis, then Termperance really didn't know what to do with it. She's lost on personal relationships, as evidenced by the fact that she'd rather wait for a man than move on. A man she knows she may never hear from.

This book was a hard read for me.
