Verified Purchase. I might be that some time spent in law enforcement a long time ago has left me jaded here, but I don't usually have as much difficulty suspending disbelief as I did with this one.
The scenarios, explanations, dialogue, characters, and everything else involved in the story are absolutely and ridiculously unbelievable. I mean, they are DUMB! I can't believe there were so many positive reviews of this drivel. Lincoln Rhyme is supposed to be a curmudgeon, I get it, but he comes across as simply unlikeable just for kicks, I might go back into the text and count how many times he "barks" his responses to people.
Couple the distasteful main character with the fact that he annoyingly has a pat and ready answer for absolutely every piece of evidence that is presented to him and the result is a farce.
I finished the book because I wanted to see if it would get better This would have been a one-star review, but I gave it a second star for finally coming to an end. They are immortal now. I freed them. I took them down to the bone. I read this book for the first time when it first came out back in I loved it from the beginning and read the entire Lincoln Rhyme series after that. And as I remember this movie followed the book pretty closely. It seemed like there are a bunch of discrepancies from the book and I re-read it just to refresh my memory.
The TV show is okay but it barely follows the book and, in comparison, definitely makes the movie shine. Lincoln Rhyme was a criminalist with the New York Police Department until he was injured on the job and became a quadriplegic.
He's having a difficult time finding the desire to live when abruptly he is called upon to consult on an unusual case. He brings in Officer Amelia Sachs to be "his feet" at the crime scenes. I loved the storyline. I loved the characters especially Lincoln, Amelia, and his health aide Thom. If you haven't read this book and this series, you are genuinely missing out on one of the best police procedurals out there.
This book was freaking awesome! As a physically disabled person, it is difficult to find books with a disabled main character that is written in a realistic way, such as thoughts and feelings, and the day to day difficulties along with the successes. It is hard to explain. I absolutely loved and appreciated the way Mr. Deaver got it right from the start with his characters. Deaver gives his main character both and in a huge way! This book was a definite page turner from start to finish, and it was non stop action with nothing but surprises along the way!
Highly recommend!!! This is a very interesting book but also very realistic. Be warned, it contains episodes that may turn your stomach. The author wanted to create a thriller with a leading character who solves crimes by using only his mind. This hero is severely disabled - he can move only his head and one finger. To compensate, he is an ex-cop and a respected expert in forensics so he has numerous old cop buddies who keep calling him for opinions and instructions. He faces a villain here who is just plain nuts, who lives in the past and works his evil in historic ways on victims who he believes are also in the past.
This leads our hero to the books - history books, that is. Jeffry Deaver is one of the best thriller writers there is. The Bone Collector, the first of the Lincoln Rhyme novels is certainly no exception. Although Lincoln Rhyme, formerly head of the Investigation and Resource Division of the New York City Police Department, is now a quadriplegic and can only move his head and done finger, there is no lack of action and tension in this gripping story. When the department asks for his help again with a case, Rhyme reluctantly agrees to help them try to solve it.
He appears to know almost everything about everything, and to be able to decipher clues from the most microscopic evidence. With the help of patrolwoman Amelia Sachs, his personal aide Thom, a crime-scene tech, and the two detectives who lured him into working on the case to begin with, Rhyme unravels all the clues through the most unexpected twists.
He must overcome obstacles raised by the political establishment, the FBI, and even his own reluctance, as well as the traps set by the perpetrator to finally solve the case. This is my first novel by this author. I saw the movie based on this book not realizing at the time that it was based on a novel.
I prefer to read the novels first as so much tends to be edited out. The story sort of plods along but I kept plowing to get to the antagonists' reasoning. Knew it would be different from movie but still personal and sick. I hurt for the victims even though I knew they would die.
