Bare Bones by Kathy Reichs

2.0

This is book number six in the Tempe Brennan (aka Bones) series. I started it back in December, a coworker saw me reading one of these books and then brought in a ton of them that she owned to loan to me. This is the second of those i've gotten to. And yet, it's September, almost a year later. why did it take me so long to get through this book? well, the best part about this series is the autopsies, the medical facts. But that's about all. The characters are dull. Tempe, the main character who is a forensic anthropologist who works to solve mysteries by identifying bones and bodies, is dull. Part of it is my fault. She's a middle aged woman with a grown daughter and a crush on this equally boring guy. i just don't identify with her at all. but it's also written dully. it doesn't grab your attention at all. you have to work at these books. so i kind of just imagine her as totally different and just pay attention to the medical things, oh and her cute dog and cat. Read this series if you're interested in autopsies, bones and medical things (i am!) or maybe have a lot of patience. ill probably read more of this series, since i still have the books my coworker lent me, but once i've read all the ones she gave me, i don't think i'd try to read more on my own. 2 stars = 'it was ok'
