Starring Buffy and Angel 's David Boreanaz, Bones is the thrilling investigative drama inspired by real-life forensic anthropologist and best-selling novelist Kathy Reichs.
Dr Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) is a highly skilled forensic anthropologist, often teamed with Special Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz), piecing together the clues left behind in murder victims’ bones. Booth and Brennan solve horrific crimes while keeping viewers gripped by their ongoing love/hate relationship.
This is the official companion packed full of exclusive new interviews with the cast and crew, stunning photos and a complete seasons one and two episode guide, as well as background detail on real-life forensics and a foreword by Kathy Reichs.
Paul Ruditis also writes under the name P.J. Ruditis.
I was born and raised in Philadelphia where I lived a typical childhood with a far more interesting fantasy life. I mean, how many other eight year olds were sticking their Star Wars action figures in Ziploc bags filled with water and putting them in the freezer to recreate the ice planet of Hoth? (Really? That many? Never mind.)
After college, I moved to Los Angeles and was very lucky to get a job as a page at Paramount Pictures only months after I got into town. I worked as a tour guide and usher, and I performed temp office work around the lot. Eventually, I took a position working in the studio's licensing department where I quickly worked my way up to middle management.
After a while, one of my friends in the publishing industry offered me the opportunity to write a Buffy, The Vampire Slayer short story for a collection she was editing. Well, when I heard how little money I could make as a writer, I immediately quit my job to try it full time. (Stupid, I know, but it kind of worked for me.)
I started out by writing books based on such wonderful TV shows as Star Trek, Roswell, and Sabrina, The Teenage Witch. I have since written over 30 books based some of the best shows on TV, adding The West Wing, Alias, and Prison Break to that ever growing list.
While I continue to work on these media tie-ins, I have also been focused more on my own original fiction, including my teen series DRAMA! and the Simon Pulse Romantic Comedy Love, Hollywood Style.
I really enjoyed this as a companion to the first 2 seasons of Bones and would recommend to any fan of the series.
What I really liked about this was that it briefly covered each episode (which helped and I found even after more than 5 years since I've watched these episodes I could still remember quite a few moments) whilst also filling in some behind the scenes details. Although only a double page spread for each episode, each section has lots of interesting information about things from the episode such as how or where scenes were filmed, particular scenes the actors liked shooting, how the bodies were made to look so realistic etc.
Bones has always been one of my favourite series and I think this was a great addition to my collection of tv companion books. I'm sad they stopped doing these after season 3 however I am definitely going to pick that one up.
Fantastic Companion guide!!! Fans of the show or the Kathy Reichs books will love this. 160 pages of glossy photos and insight into every season 1 episode. This book is so much fun to page through. Love it!
A must for fans of Bones, I believe! Full of interesting information, beautiful colour images, funny quotes... well, everything! You just have to love Bones!
