3.0 out of 5 stars this woman is superhuman!, July 25, 2008

This review is from: Death du Jour (Temperance Brennan Novels) (Mass Market Paperback)

I really wanted to like this series and this second one has left me still uncertain as to whether or not I care to continue discovering more about this character. There is just too much going on. I must say, I would rate these higher if the woman, Tempe, was even halfway close to human. The things she does and survives are incredible. I'd have collapsed after page 10. And she jogs. LOL It kind of defies belief that any one person could be involved in so many different things all over the country and actually between TWO countries as well (Canada and USA) and she has more friendly experts and backups that she can call at a moment's notice than any other character!! I don't like when she leaves things hanging through the book, for example about the nun/saint. She knew something on page 20 or so that she could have just stated. Also way too much bug detail, I don't care about forensics THAT MUCH. I'll try one more. Recommended with reservations.
