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. 2w
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. 2w
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! 2w

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. 2w
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. 2w
Shemac77 I love the books! 2w
TrishB I love the books- but I‘ve never watched the series! 2w
LiseWorks I love the books, they are not like the show. 2w
BookBr The books are fantastic, but the show takes a very different take on the basics of the story… 2w
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. 2w
TNbookworm I love the show but haven't read any of the books either 🙂 2w
