My lovely, clever, marvelous #Littens . I recently started rewatching Bones. And I‘ve realized I haven‘t read any of the books that the show is based on.
Are they any good? Should I give them a try?

Ruthiella It‘s been ages since I read one. As I recall, they were pretty good. I think, however, the TV show is not an adaptation of the books but more loosely based on Kathy Reichs real life. 7mo
vlwelser The books are good. But they have no relation to the show. You should try one. But think of it as a separate thing. 7mo
Kristy_K Agree with @Ruthiella and @vlwelser . Books are good but outside of the MC‘s name and job, they are different. I enjoyed both the books and the show! 7mo

julesG What the others said. The books are good, but it's definitely not about the TV serie's Tempe. I'd say the novels are the fictional/exaggerated story of Kathy's job. 7mo
thebacklistbook According to an interview the TV series is about Kathy Reichs but she wasn't comfortable being directly depicted so they named the character after Tempe instead. The books are in my opinion good. As long as you don't go in expecting to recognize stuff from the show. 7mo
Shemac77 I love the books! 7mo
TrishB I love the books- but I‘ve never watched the series! 7mo
LiseWorks I love the books, they are not like the show. 7mo
BookBr The books are fantastic, but the show takes a very different take on the basics of the story… 7mo
Read4life I‘ve enjoyed both. Like others have said, they are different. The books are closer to her real life where she splits her time between NC & Quebec. 7mo
TNbookworm I love the show but haven't read any of the books either 🙂 7mo
