In contrast to the TV adaptation of Temperance, which portrays her as a somewhat inconsistent character, oscillating between being high-functioning Asperger's and clever enough to impersonate a circus performer's assistant, this version of Temperance is far more authentic and relatable. She deals with genuine real-life problems, although it's worth noting that she often makes ignorant decisions that make it surprising she manages to survive until the end, let alone have more stories to tell. Additionally, the narrator frequently pauses and has a habit of sounding as if she's munching on sunflower seeds and spitting out the shells.

The author kindly provided me with a complimentary copy of this audiobook, without any expectations for a review. I have to admit, 'Deja Dead' had a slow start and I wasn't sure if I would be able to finish it. It seemed like a prerequisite to be fluent in French, due to the abundance of French words and phrases throughout the book. Although some of them were translated, not all of them were. Additionally, there was an overwhelming amount of street and city names, making it feel like a travelogue. Lastly, there was an excessive amount of unnecessary detail provided, in my opinion. It wasn't until I reached about 20 chapters in that the book finally grabbed my attention. By the end of chapter 35 (out of 43), I was completely absorbed in the story. As for continuing with the series, I'm uncertain. I have serious reservations about spending money or credits on the next book, so I will definitely be listening to the sample first to see if it is similar to this one. If it is, I'll most likely give it a pass.

I really, really enjoyed this book!!!! I'm a huge fan of Temperance Brennan, so I was thrilled to read the book that inspired the TV show Bones. It was so cool to see where it all began. I can't wait to dive into the next book in the series. Let's get started with book number 2!

The narration is absolutely dreadful!! You can clearly hear the narrator munching on something and slurping on mints or ice throughout the entire recording. Plus, there's a constant background noise of static that ruins the listening experience. On top of that, the story itself doesn't stand the test of time. Truly abysmal, I can't emphasize it enough!

I couldn't stand listening to the audio after chapter 7, so I switched to the printed version to finish it. The narrator is absolutely terrible, I mean, seriously awful. She keeps sucking in air all the time and making these weird pauses and phrases that are just too forced. It's mind-boggling to me that some people actually defend her and claim they don't get why others complain about the narrator. Like, seriously, are they high or deaf? After this experience, I am definitely going to steer clear of any books with this particular narrator.

I want to start off by saying that the Tempe Brennan series by Kathy Reichs is nothing like the TV series, Bones. If you're expecting them to be the same, you might want to steer clear of these books. However, since I was rereading Deja Dead, I was prepared for this major difference. To begin with, the version of Dr. Brennan in the novel is quite different from her TV counterpart, but I actually preferred the book character because she had more depth. Tempe's flaws and backstory made her seem more relatable and human. The only disappointment I had regarding the characters is the absence of Booth, but I have high hopes for Detective Ryan. In terms of the story itself, the mystery was pretty good and had an exciting resolution. However, there were moments where the narrative got weighed down by medical terminology and procedures. Some readers have also mentioned that there were too many similes throughout the novel. Nevertheless, I personally didn't think these issues completely ruined the book, as I still enjoyed Deja Dead for the most part. As for the narration, I have to say it wasn't great. While I did get used to it to some extent, there were a lot of unpleasant mouth sounds and other noises in the audio. Overall, despite the poor narration, Deja Dead is an intriguing serial killer mystery that I would likely recommend to fellow fans of crime and thrillers. I'm excited to continue with the rest of the series.

I took a gamble on this book since it was on sale, but unfortunately, it turned out to be quite monotonous. I'm a fan of captivating mysteries filled with thrilling scenes and deceit, but instead, I found myself bombarded with excessive descriptions of bones and blades, with very little story woven in between. I managed to make it through the first part, but I came to the realization that this author may not be for me. Additionally, I didn't think I could bear another round of deep inhalation before nearly every sentence or paragraph. I don't like being negative about the narration, as I understand it's a challenging job, but it played a significant role in my overall dissatisfaction with the book.

Would you give another book by Kathy Reichs or narrated by Barbara Rosenblat a shot?

The narrator seemed to be taking frequent sharp breaths and had a peculiar sound as if she had something in her mouth. When you use headphones to listen, it can make you feel queasy. I definitely won't be giving any more of her narrations a chance.
