There's something about Deja Dead

Woooo,I finally brought a brandnew computer, and got my ass togetheer in the chair and start writing to people about the third English novel I read. By the way, I forgot to mention the titleIused was taken from a movie called "there' something about Mary."
Deja Dad is quite a mystery novel, yet based on Montreal and the writer's past experiment. Comparing with those former twos: Harry Proter and To Kill A Monckingbird, this one is more thrilling.
As I remerber, after I bought this book, I caved in.This is a book that simply cannot be put down. I read it before going to school, I read it on the metro,I read it at lunch, I read it far into the night when my eyes were hanging on stalks. And still I had to race to the finish.

Temperance Brennan is a fortyish American forensic anthropologist from the South, who is working in French-speaking Montreal. A recovering alcoholic, she is divorced, mother of a college-age daughter. In a story wholely with fascinating scenarios of Montreal, Temperance (called "Tempe") is called upon to autopsy a young female victim of a pathologically murder. This convinced that she has seen the work of a vicious serial killer.

Perhaps "Deja Dead" is to brilliant because in real life, Reichs IS a forensic anthropologist who has lived and worked in the South and in Montreal. Whatever the cause, it is obvious that she is a born writer. I gave this book five stars because it is impossible to give ten. Needless to say, I am already on Book Two of the Temperance Brennan series, and won't be able to stop until I have read them all.
