Book Reviews of Bones: The Official Companion
Book Review: BEAUTIFUL Book! Bones fans will LOVE it!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is of excellent quality and really fun to look at! The pages are very colorful and include tons of photographs and forensic definitions / facts!
The book starts with a foreward by Kathy Reichs, an introduction by Hart Hanson (exec producer), then another section on the inspiration for the show and how it was developed.
This is all followed by an episode guide which takes up most of the pages of the book, but it is not your typical episode guide. In addition to the plot summary (which includes key facts as to how the case is solved), it details who wrote each episode, who the guest stars were, information about filming and location, definitions of forensic terms used in the episode, dialogue clips, and even a listing of music and artists that were featured in each episode.
Mixed in amongst the episode listings are a few pages with detailed information (titled "Research Files" in the table of contents) on the following subjects: Victim Identification, The Angelator, Insect Activity & Soil Analysis, X-Rays, Practical Experimentation, and Identifying Foreign Matter.
Following the episode guide are character profiles, with about four pages of photos and information for each character (including both Dr. Goodman from Season 1 and Cam from Season 2). These are followed by "Behind the Scenes" pages titled "Gross Anatomy: Special Effects Makeup: Creating the Dead Bodies" and "Getting Under the Skin: The Science of Bones."
I was REALLY impressed by this book, especially for the price. I would expect it to go for at least $20, maybe even $30. (The cover price is $14.95 though Amazon is currently selling it for a little more than $10). Its fantastic and makes a great gift for Bones fans!
