I loved Bones when I was watching it, and I've enjoyed the Temperance Brennan books, but they suffer from a lack of reality. They're enjoyable while you're reading them, as they're very fast-paced and intricate, but there are a lot of things--too many coincidences to be believable, everyone is always romantically interested in Tempe, she's allowed to be in on interrogations and details of investigations that would NEVER happen in real life--that you just can't get over as you think more about them, and this one was no exception. This is a good on-the-beach or on-a-plane read where you want something quick that you don't have to think too hard about.

I was afraid that based on the topic of this book that I wouldn’t like it. However, I was very pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed the case, the location, and the development in Brennan’s relationships.

This one didn't do it as much for me, things seemed to happen too conveniently and it wasn't as much of a page-turner at the end. But I did like learning more about how soldiers' remains are brought home.

Yet another amazing book by Kathy Reichs, I love too watch Dr Temperance Brennan on the tv show Bones and this is how I got into reading the books. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole mystery off who was who and how they had managed too bury another fallen soldier in the place off someone who never even went too Vietnam. Looking forward too reading more books in the near future.
