Another...

BOOK REVIEW!! I've started reading quite a bit and thought I might as well do a review on this one... It took me quite a long time to read this and I accumulate small time everyday post-holiday to read this page by page... There are a lot of anthropological terminologies in this novel... Oh first of all... The book that I'm reviewing is Cross Bones by Kathy Reichs... I think this is supposed to be the latest one if I am not mistaken... I actually bought this with the Harry Potter book but since I am so engulfed into Harry Potter for a while and forgotten it then i discovered it for a few days and then started reading it :P Anyways... besides that... I'm supposed to review the book!! D'oh!!

As always the protagonist is Dr Temperance Brennan... I think from the beginning it is always the same protagonist... same like Cornwell's books I think... But I actually have never read Patricia Cornwell's books... so there you go... Anyways... in this novel Tempe (they always have a nickname don't they??) is being baffled by a strange case... Avram Ferris has been found dead in his office shot twice in the back of his head... execution style... and the clue to his murderer? Is a photo given by a strange man... a photo of a perfectly intact skeleton that the mystery man told Tempe that it was the reason Avram has been shot...

The interesting part about this novel is this is probably the first time out of the whole series that Tempe went overseas to solve the case... I have to say as different and rather err... controversional according to me as it is... it doesn't strike me as well scripted episode... but the most intriguing part out of the novel is the religious controversies that are established by the book... I just thought it was not as a spectacular controversy as The Da Vinci Code but nonetheless it's a feed for the brain...
