I've been on a Bones Netflix kick for the last few weeks. Obviously Booth is dreamy, and Bones cracks me up, so why shouldn't the books be decent? Although it's preferable to read the book before watching the show, the characters on the show have kept my interest for 10 season. I've become rather attached to them - all of them and it's pretty sad when one leaves.
I have faith in this series since there are 25 books and Kathy Reichs has other series she's written that this series, or at least the first book, is worth a read! Even if it sucks, we still have David Boreanaz.
