I am more or less enamoured by Bones, especially the main character. I love how she's so good at her job, but so completely clueless when it comes to the rest of reality, at least that part that covers recent pop-culture. My Dad also watches it, but he's not as enthusiastic as I am: he's read the books, and has much the same reaction as I have to PJ's LotR.
I tried the first book, Déjà Dead. I gave up after Chapter 13 or so. She's a whiner. I don't like the way she writes. Like she's all this information she wants to impart on us, and doesn't know how to do that than in info-dumps. It's irritating.
I'll stick with the series. But at least I tried.
