206 Bones: A Novel Audiobook

" Another good story from Kathy Reichs. This one keeps you tracking against several current realities. The ending is somewhat predictable but has a definite twist. "

" 206 Bones is the 12th book in the Temperance Brennan series. It is a little self-indulgent, going to lengths to explain the accreditation process for forensic board certification, but I guess by book twelve, Reichs has earned the right. I found the office intrigue to be more interesting than the actual crime Brennan was working which had too many names and too many suspects, but unlike many of her other novels where I didn't know "who done it" until Brennan did, this one was yawningly predictable. The ending was wrapped too quickly, mostly in an epilogue-type recap. I think as faithful readers up to this point, we earned the right to see the bad guys suffer in real-time, not just hear about it after the fact. Reichs has educated her readers with each book and we deserve more creative storytelling. Also, Detective Ryan should have had to do more sucking up to earn his way back into Brennan's good graces "

" Solid addition to the series. I was apprehensive of the alternating timeline b/t the "trapped in a box" and the events leading up to it, but the trapped in a box sequences were minimal and could be skimmed. The last couple pages of them waxing poetic about the necessity of certification in forensics was off-putting. "

" A solid, satisfying Temperance Brennan forensic mystery. Some of the earlier parts of the book take place in Chicago and Elmhurst, so the local flavor was good. The buried-alive parts of the story were creepy, and it all wrapped up a bit too neatly for my taste. "

" Not a quick read with alot of forensic details but that is what makes Reichs interesting. Thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it - a very good read. "

" Another excellent book by Kathy Reichs. You can't go wrong with her books. I like the amount of detail used for solving the murders. Of course it always seems authentic to me. "

" Didn't even have the courage to keep reading this book, got too boring about 2 chapters in. Even for a person who loves the medical detail in these books, even that detail wasn't enough to coer for the lack of a gripping plot. "

" Nice mystery, The start drew me right in. There were a few cases of foreshadowing which seemed they could be a little more discreet, but the story line was very good and the science was interesting. I really liked the essay at the back of the book also. "

" I do enjoy the pathopysiology that is explained in these murder mysteries. I do ge tired of the unhappy personal life that these mystrey-crime solvers all seem to have in common. In this novel, the love life was kept to a minimum compared to the TV series that has been generated from these novels. "

" short story fleshed out with idle facts and info to make a novel. "

" Could not speed-read this one. So many facts to take in, you need to take your time. It is a bit slow at first, but gets good. I feel smarter after reading this book...haha.. "

" Formulaic as hell, but I loved it! "

" I thought I was really going to like this book, this series is what the TV show "Bones" is based off of, and I love the show. However, the writing was sub-par and predictable. "

" Good Tempe novel, enjoyed that Ryan was back and as the other books by Reichs, there is a lot going on on all her books. Keeps my attention yet is easy to read. If you like mystery with blood and guts you will likely like Temperence Brennan and Kathy Reichs. "

" Meh. I had high hopes and they were dashed. Won't be reading another in this series, I'll just watch Bones and be happy with that. "

" I was a little disappointed in this book. I finished it, but it really didn't keep my attention. I loved this series, but the last two books have been disappointing. "

" I haven't read/listened to all the books in the series, but this was my favorite so far. "

" Typical, enjoyable Reichs novel. "

" Kathy Reichs is back on form with this book that I couldn't put down. As well as solving murders she has to deal with backstabbing by colleagues. "

" One of her better books in my opinion. "

" You sure do learn a lot about bones in this book, which is interesting but gets a little more than you really want to know from time to time, other than when it obviously is a part of understanding the plot of the book. I like the characters in these Temperance Brennan books. "

" Very good book i thought it was predictable when reading it but once again i was surprised at the end. "

" Normal Reichs book. Better than average mystery maybe. "

" Another good read from from Kathy Reichs. I find the medical/anthropology details FASCINATING! "

" Really like the TV show Bones, but these portrayals are a bit different than the TV characters. Still a pretty good book. "

" I thought it was a great book! Very exciting, edge of your seat kind of read. "

" I need to start at the beginning of this series. I had no idea what was going on in her personal life. All I understood was the forensics. "

" Not bad, but not the best mystery ever. "

" The repartee is witty and often very funny. However not the greatest plot. Not the worst either. "

" Another one day read. Not because it's awesome, but because it's filled with cliffhangers. Even so, it manages to be a little dull + I keep reading to find out if it gets better. "

" This is another in the fine series featuring forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan. This character appears weekly on Fox in the TV series "Bones." Most of the action in the book takes place in Montreal and Quebec. "

" I love the "bone" book, this was really entertaining. "

" i like kathy reichs and am enjoying this book too. "

" A little boring--too much forensic detail, not enough plot. "

" This was one of Reichs better Bones books. The plot was riveting, the romance hot and steamy, and the dead bodies gory full of sad mystery and suspense. "

" Always the first chapter is a thriller! Never bored with Kathy or Temperance "

" Pretty good...not as scary as some of her other books. "

" Mediocre at best. For once the T.V. show is infinitely better than the novels. "
