Book Review: Leave this book "buried deep"
Summary: 1 Stars
I pretty much have to agree with Todd from San Francisco on this one, so I'll keep my review basic and simple.
I consider myself to be a fan of the TV show "Bones" (of which, this book is based) and the characters in the book are too different from the characters on the show for my liking - I had a hard time believing some of the things book Brennan would say or do as true to her character on the show. Also, the author seems too focused on some of the personality traits of the main characters - referring too often to Booth's sniper days and filling the pages with Brennan's "I don't know what that means."
The storyline has a lot of potential, but fizzles out in the end as the author ties up most of the loose ends too quickly and neatly. Most of the supporting characters on the show (the "squints") only get a few moments "page time" on phone calls with Brennan, so this book is basically just Brennan and Booth solving a crime in Chicago, with minor support from the Jeffersonian staff via phone calls and emails.
I am usually not one to complain about the language in a book, however, as they say before the show "Reader discretion is advised". The language in this book is a bit on the coarse side. Where I can see the argument of the author as "keeping it real", the TV show does just fine, without the use of so many expletives.
Overall, not the worst book I've ever read. It's a quick read, and doesn't require much thought or time, so if that's what you're looking for ... I would suggest picking it up from your local library - it's a one time read.
Summary of Bones: Buried Deep (Bones)
Tempe's work at the Jeffersonian Institute is put on hold when Special Agent Seeley Booth, stalled on a case deposing a Chicago mob family, calls her in to assist with a bizarre discovery: a plastic bag of skeletal remains -- and a chilling note -- left on the steps of a federal building. Tempe determines the bones are from different corpses, suggesting a serial killer's handiwork. A suspect is quickly taken into custody, but Tempe senses the case is far from closed. And as Booth's Mafia case heats up with violent twists and bloody discoveries, including ties to one of Chicago's most gruesome and notorious killers, Tempe must unravel the story of the bones, where the truth lies buried -- in order to stay alive.Movie Tie-Ins Books
