206 Bones by Kathy Reichs

I'm a big fan of the Bones TV show, but I'm fully aware that the only thing the books and the programme have in common is Tempe Brennan. Having said that, I think the character in the books is far more likeable. The relationship she has with Ryan is brilliant and I often spent a lot of time waiting for them to meet up. I've read another of Reichs books which I must say, I enjoyed more. I read that within a matter of days, this took me a lot longer. I love Reichs' style of writing, but sometimes, she doesn't say who's speaking and I have to back track a few lines to work out who says what. I was also quite confused with the several cases going on, and the several aliases that one man had. Having said that, Reichs has the much needed pull that some authors do not, the one that keeps you turning the pages, no matter what time of night. Although I was disappointed with this book, I'll definately read more Reichs books.

this was so interesting.
i feel like “206 bones” broke the usual mold kathy reichs follows in her books. the technique works wonders each and every time, but nonetheless it was refreshing to see something new. i lovedddd the drama here!
“206 bones” had me in a chokehold, seriously. the dynamic between tempe and her in–laws was so fun. (affectionate) i thought we were going to see her family, but no, it was pete's. i'm not sure why, but i dig this so much.
although... what are both pete and ryan doing? gah. it was kind of unexpected to see both relationship implode—for good?—but i guess this, too, counts when it comes to how refreshing this book was.
i enjoyed the tension with the briel, and even though some aspects of it were pretty self–explanatory, the final plot twist still managed to surprise me. so, kudos!
i'm so happy about how fast and efficiently i'm going through this series.

 I listened to this book and I found it difficult to keep up with all the action. However, I loved coming back to this series! I also loved that the narrator was one of my favorite narrators.
