I like an original, uniquely unsolvable suspense novel and think this series will fit that bill. I also agree with your assessment of Audible - whew, if I purchased outright all of the audiobooks I listen to, I would be so broke! Audible helps with that particular fix I need!Stacy Millicannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008560569188093094.post-46081177758515837362012-04-12T17:27:15.225-05:002012-04-12T17:27:15.225-05:00I think the TV series creators did a huge disservi...I think the TV series creators did a huge disservice by keeping their character named Temperance Brennan. The only things the books and show have in common is they focus on a Temperance Brennan who is a forensic anthropologist, as you mentioned. I love the book series, and started reading them before I connected the show to the books (back when it was only 1 season in). While the show is good, I had too much mental rage about the naming. The show I think should be better described as being inspired by Kathy Reichs herself.Sarah Williamshttp://sawcat.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008560569188093094.post-72152774359670117172012-04-12T16:49:53.314-05:002012-04-12T16:49:53.314-05:00I have long wondered if this is a series I would l...I have long wondered if this is a series I would like, and based on your awesome and very thoughtful review, I think I need to take a chance on it. While I am not so interested in the science of saws, I do think that there is a lot to intrigue me in this series, and I am also surprised that the television series is so different than the books. You've made the process of selecting my next audio download very easy with this review. Excellent job today!zibileenoreply@blogger.com
