I think it's one of her best yet --lots of chills (yes, pun intended) and thrills. Despite my ambivalence about the Rizzoli & Isles pilot, I may watch a few more -- they've signed on for 10 episodes. The first plot was based on her book The Apprentice, BTW.PatRemickhttp://www.patremick.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-66424774010751084472010-07-13T15:58:36.706-04:002010-07-13T15:58:36.706-04:00Pat, I couldn't get into the Stieg Larsson boo...Pat, I couldn't get into the Stieg Larsson books either, and I'm from Scandinavia, so the Swedish names wouldn't bother me one bit. Maybe I should have tried to read it in the original rather than the translation, though. I just thought it was horribly slow moving with nothing much happening and a very unappealing voice. Possibly I didn't give it enough time, and the hype did perhaps turn me off. Then again, I hated the DaVinci Code, as well.

This is something I might have enjoyed watching, but alas... And I'm ashamed to admit I've never read Tess Gerritsen - always thought she'd be too gory for me - but maybe I need to try one. I do like Angie Harmon a lot, and although she's not a plain woman, she pulls of plain pretty well, at least in the clip. My big pet peeve right now is the Stephanie Plum movie. But let's just not go there, huh?Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01442754671445893599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-5562711443549330432010-07-13T09:59:56.735-04:002010-07-13T09:59:56.735-04:00I missed the premier (still recovering from the we...I missed the premier (still recovering from the wedding.)

I also watch the TV show, "Bones" which is based on Reichs' books, and I like them both. The character is completely different in each, though. In the books she's in her forties, divorced, a recovering alcoholic with an adult daughter. On the show she's portrayed as thirty something and never married, no kids.Laurissanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-77639397579375252762010-07-13T08:36:20.994-04:002010-07-13T08:36:20.994-04:00I just wish they'd quit putting shows on chann...I just wish they'd quit putting shows on channels I don't have!Joyce Tremelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00498392016497131719noreply@blogger.com
