Cross Bones by Kathy Reichs
2.0
I've been a fan of Bones for a very long time and so, been interested in these books. I've collected quite a few of them from library book sales as well. This is the first one I've actually read (listened to) though. It's something like the 8th book in the series or something, so I know it's probably not very fair to judge too harshly when I haven't even started in the right spot. But, that aside, I felt like this was written in a much too formulated way-and it was too easy to spot. Every chapter tried to end on a "cliff hanger", etc.
I couldn't find myself being very interested in Temperance, either, because I didn't feel like she was anything different or unique. Like she was just this normal girl who happened to be a good forensic anthropologist. I wanted her to be odd, unique, and special. The same phrases were definitely used too much, too. And I don't enjoy reading about sex scenes all that much, but it's also weird to imply and cut away every time one happens. I guess it all seemed too formulated, and a bit rigid and awkward.
