Book Review
The Bone Collector

THE BONE COLLECTOR by Jeffery Deaver – Information overload but so worth it.

A million years ago, I watched The Bone Collector movie with Angelina Jolie and Denzel Washington. For years I had put off reading the book because I loved the movie. I thought it was terrific and didn’t know how it could have been improved with the book’s description of the action. I was wrong.

The chemistry of the actors in the movie was there in the book, added with the character’s inner dialogue that couldn’t be telegraphed to the viewer.

Of course, the reader is given loads of technical information regarding crime scene investigation, lots of 10-letter word terms and anatomical names for bones and body parts. I don’t know if it is true or not, but I felt reading this book made me smarter, it at least made me more knowledge about the science of crime scene investigation.

I recommend to anyone who watched the movie, there will be information overload, but it’s oh so worth it.

Recommend?

I really feel that this book is better read on a Kindle since the reader will have easy access to the Dictionary and other digital look up methods such as WebMD and Wikipedia.
