Honestly, I didn't like this book much during the first several chapters. It's obvious she was a novice writer and her over-use of metaphors drove me crazy! Also, not being a French speaker, all the French (slightly excessive in my opinion) annoyed me a bit.I am a fan of the tv show 'Bones', which is based on this series of books, so I was excited to start. There are some major differences between the tv and the book versions of the main character, which was a transition for me, but I ended upI am only sorry for waiting so long to read it. Great story! I think KR does have a sense of humor and I loved all of the technical stuff. Another series added to my list.
I have been wanting to read this series for aaages and so Im glad that Ive finally started. I was quite surprised how different this was to the TV series. Temperance Brennan was a completely different character. I think I like the book version better - she is more believable and relatable. The murder-mystery in this book was well written and well plotted. While some parts did get quite technical and scientific, it wasnt overly frequent. Also being from the mid-90s, reading this really made me
SOOOOO disappointed that this doesn't have the same exact characters like the show. Or like the show in general.Deja Dead is the first book of the Temperance Brennan series. Now, I'm slightly obsessed with the show, Bones. Which is where you meet the character Temperance Brennan.. so of course, I had some expectations for the first book. Sadly, it's not set in D.C. and her people are not in it either. Well.. yet.Temperance is an okay kind of character - just like she is in the first episode of
This is the first of the Temeperance Brennan books. If you are looking for the Bones version of Temperance Brenna, this is not it. Think of this as the original and the Bones version as being the modified version designed to be appealing to a wide television audience.In many ways Kathy Reich's books remind me of Patricia Cornwell's. Or perhaps I should say Patricia Cornwell's remind me of Kathy Reich's, seeing as KR first began writing in the forensic's genre before PC did, add to that a the
eh, it was okay. I am a huge fan of the TV series Bones, which is loosely based off Kathy Reichs' series, of which this is the first book. However, I realized exactly how LOOSELY BASED the series is after reading this book. what I love about the show is the romantic tension and sparkling humor and wit. these books are so much dryer and less fun. Even the lead character is less appealing--instead of being a gorgeous unattached doctor, she's an older alcoholic doctor, with a messy divorce and a
I made it to chapter 4 of this book (pg45) but really had to stop. The book itself was good, dont get me wrong HOWEVER, I picked it up specifically because I totally LOVE the TV show Bones which is based off of this series of books. And as everyone knows, the book(s) that a TV show, mini-series, or movie is based upon are always better boy was I wrong.I love forensics stories with a good plot & this one has that, BUT I just cant get involved with the books Tempe because shes sooooo much
