“This was a fast, nice and easy read, ideal before going to bed or waste some time. Clear, not-too-technical descriptions and good to follow for those who don't have multiple degrees in forensics, anthropology or logic like me. I liked the way Reichs has the characters ask each other "So what does this mean?" followed with an explanation to sum up what the consequences/dangers/implications are. Brennan is a good tag team with her lover Ryan and they both explain to the reader what everything is all about (even though in some scenes it can be a little obnoxious). Brennan is sometimes on the verge of a Mary Sue, as in discovering something by coincidence that no one else has uncovered for a few thousand years while it was pretty obvious, but the pace and excitement of the story are good, so it 's easy to overlook. The style of writing is sometimes a little childish and hopping from one bit to another to my taste, but Reichs and her tremendous speed knows how to keep the reader glued to the pages, wanting to know what happens next. A nice read!”

“This one was weirdly intriguing. I didn't think that I would be that interested in the history side of this as much as I was, but I found it to be a good read. ”

“As always, the science is fun but this one was not as good as the rest of her books. The need to send Brennan (with Ryan in tow) to the Middle East seemed like a bit of a stretch.”

“Love the Temperance Brennan novels. Great science without turning your stomach, like other books about medical examiners can do. Great fun.

This one I didn't like quite as well as the others I've read, but still worthwhile.”
“Forensic anthropologist – eighth book in series – there’s a good story in between all the excruciating details. Continues “template” style.”

“This was another author's attempt to latch on to the biblical controversies stirred by the films Passion of the Christ and/ or Dan Brown's book, the DaVinci Code. Of all of the books in the series, this was the most boring. I don't know if it was all the Biblical references or heavy use of anthropological forensic jargon.”
