Fourth star for being set in Chicago, and especially the Field Museum. It also mentions the Indiana dunes too. There is NO Cheesecake Factory In Oakbrook,IL-when this book was written. I just do not understand this, when They got other landmarks and locations accurately. As far as I can find out, this is the only book from the TV series. I wish there was more of them. I enjoyed the morning have soup outdoors at the local Panera, with a nice breeze. Everyone else was indoors. It was so lovely, es...

Fan fiction, I'd definitely agree with that description. As a continuation of the TV series the book isn't bad, but it's NOT a Kathy Reichs bones novel. I could actually SEE the TV characters while reading this one, so I guess it is actually very well written, but I'm not impressed. I wanted to read about my friend Tempe, the alcoholic who DOESN'T drink chardonnay without DIRE consequences. After I got over the change of format and the fact that the proof reader didn't catch the paragraph where

Quick read. Pretty much the same as the show (early seasons?) but clearly different from the regular Bones books. I’d read others in the series if I came across them.

Well, not much of a mystery. No surprises or anything like that.

Bones Buried Deep was what I would call an Okay read. I am a fan of the tv show and also Kathy Reichs work but found that this book didn't pull me in the way Reichs work did. Also if you have watched the show it's hard to get the humor nd the timing from the show translated to the written word. But all in all it was an ok read to pass the time.

It is a good story and keeps true to the characters we know in the TV series.

When I first started reading the Brennan books, I wanted to be a forensic anthropologist. I was seriously considering that field for myself. I loved how Reichs explained what was going on, getting into the details without giving things away. When Bones first aired, I was somewhat skeptical they'd be able to properly illustrate Brennan and the work she does. I admit, I first started watching because of David Boreanaz, but have really grown to love the show. Everybody just works right - Brennan an...

Bones Buried Deep, a fan-fiction novel based on the TV show Bones, which was inspired from Kathy Reich's similar novels, takes place in Chicago and stars Special Agent Seely Booth and Dr. Temperance Brennan. Booth is on a case in Chicago, trying to nail a local mob boss and his son, when an entire skeleton is dumped in front of the FBI building. Booth calls in Bones to help him solve the case. Bones Buried Deep reads just like a Bones episode, start to finish. Collins even recreates what David B...

I love Keichy Reichs and Bones the TV series no way I could pass this book.Just when Agent Seeley Booth is about to nail down the mobster father and son until his witness has suddenly vanished. Not only that there's a serial killer who may or may not killed his witness as he sent some bones to the Federal. Now he calls for help which is none other than Doctor Temperance Brennan or Bones.The mystery was quite exciting yet scary still I could not help get curious who is behind the killing, whether...

I guess I'd recommend this book to fans of the Bones TV series who aren't motivated to go back and read the original series the TV show was based on. This reads pretty much like fan fiction, and gets some of the voices right (Angela Montenegro's few lines in the book fit the voice of her TV show character perfectly) but I don't think Mr Collins gets Dr Brennan right. His character was a strange mix of the TV show character (completely unable to get pop-culture references) and the pre-existing Ka...

Okay, so one would think that after a car accident, I would use the recovery time to read a lot of books, right? Well, no... I had them all packed in boxes, so I couldn't get to them afterwards! So basically, I only read two in these one and a half months, one of which turned out to be Bones: Buried Deep. I am one of the Bones fans that watches loyally every week, although this season not as much, because I don't like where it is going. Anyway, I know the series and its characters, so like sever...

Common knowledge tells us not to expect much from authors who write novels based on tv shows. Max Allan Collins is happily one of the few exceptions that prove the rule. Collins has been writing detective fiction for a long time, and it's obvious from the story's get-go that the reader is in capable hands here. Collins' writing style is so economically fluid and precise that it's almost like the book was written by a machine, were it not for the surprisingly sophisticated sense of humor. I would...

Saw this at the Friends bookstore - how could I pass up a novelization of a favorite show? It was pretty good, season 1 era, Brennan & Booth were in Chicago so the squints were only present via phone. I notice there were no more written, I guess it's overkill to write books based on a show that is in turn based on a book series?

Seely Booth, FBI agent, is in Chicago to try and convict a mobster. A skeleton is found and Dr Brennan is called to try and identify.

This is based on the TV series, based on the books by Kathy Reichs.I thought the Reichs books were formulaic (even though I enjoyed them) but they are so well written and constructed compared to this.I will read, watch or lick anything that has David Boreanez on it though, which is how it's earned it's one star.

I was thrilled when I initially found this book because I thought, Hooray, another way to read my favorite Forensic Doc. Sadly for me, the Temperance Brennen of this book doesn’t have the same temperament of the one I’ve come to love from the Kathy Reichs novels. I was able to get over my problems when I just made a mental decision to myself to treat this “new” Tempe Brennen as tho she were an entirely different person. While the personality of “Bones” is different, I do like her. I like her ind...

I really liked the plot of this book - it was so easy to read and kept you guessing with a few sharp surprises along the way BUT the author has obviously not watched the programme as the characters were waaaaaay out! The whole premise of Bones the TV series is based around the interaction of the characters and their personalities are very obvious when you watch it and it annoyed me a little during the reading of it when the characters spoke or interacted wrongly. What is also wierd is that fair

Loved the Bones TV series and was happy to find this book. This is a great, page turning mystery, and true to the series characters. A shame that this was the only book and didn’t turn into a series. So nice to be in the Bones world again and especially nice to have the Chicago setting for this lifelong Chicagoan! It even took us to the burbs!

The day that fiction ate itself is when a TV tie-in book is written about a show that was based on a book. That’s right ‘Bone: Buried Deep’ is a tie in novel to the bastardisation of the characters developed by Kathy Reichs. Anyone who has read one of the books and also seen the show will be well aware that they are poles apart. However, this is not necessary a bad thing as Max Allan Collins is a specialist in adapting TV shows and he has recreated the breezy and light nature of the programme.Ag...
