Raw To The Bone - Wishbone Ash

From Ashes to Ashes, to Bones To Ashes.

Advantages: Another absolutely rivetting story from Reichs
Disadvantages: Over far too soon.

Bones to Ashes by Kathy Reichs. ~ ~ The Book Series explained ~ ~ This is the tenth book in the Temperance Brennan series. The books have subsequently spawned a TV series called Bones. I have to say, if you're a fan of the TV series, there are marked differences in the books, even so far as differences in main characters so don't be surprised if you pick up a book to find Angela et al aren't popping out of the page at you but this shouldn't stop you from picking up a Kathy Reichs Temperance Brennan book because while different, they still have something compelling to offer. ~ ~ Book Synopsis ~ ~ * Under the microscope, the outer bone surface is a moonscape of craters and Tempe isn't any further forward discovering what has caused the surface to look like this. The skeleton is that of a young girl, no more than fourteen years ...

Review of Bones to Ashes - Kathy Reichs

Acadian Ashes

Advantages: Well-executed crime & suspense novel
Disadvantages: Apparently not one of Reichs' best - but only a fan would know

Other reviewers have suggested that Bones to Ashes is not Reichs? best offering and in many ways is not true its protagonist Temperance Brennan. That?s for the die-hard fans to decide. Coming to it as a general reader, all I can say it that it held me for an afternoon and half a morning totally entertained. Brennan, for the newcomers, announces herself as someone on page one as someone who was hammered early by the reality of loss. Before she was even a teenager, her baby brother died to leukaemia and not very long after her father to an accident (or to the drink that caused it). Grief was eased for a time by the discovery of a new friend. Evangéline was something else! Exotic from the outset she evokes her native Acadia, not just in her speech but in her personal attachment to it. Longfellow?s poem in homage to ?the forest ...

Wishbone Ash Argus (Remastered)

Advantages: Technically very good, virtuoso performances, good prog
Disadvantages: A little dated, won't make you look trendy

Ash don't seem to have dated as well as other bands: they did the twin lead guitar thing and combined rock, folk and blues long before Thin Lizzy but while Lizzy are perennial favourites Ash are largely forgotten. The Allman Brothers are revered but say "Ted Turner and Andy Powell" and people would probably say: "Television guy? Radio One DJ?" Originally released in April 1972, "Argus" is said to be the crowning moment of the recording career of Wishbone Ash. Fans and critics see it as the definitive Ash album yet I bet it hardly ever figures in those "best 100 albums of all time polls" you get when magazines and newspapers need to fill space. If you've never heard of Ash, they're a bit like Jethro Tull or Yes: prog rock combined with jazz, blues and folk, with quite delicate vocals. In fact the whole sound is quite delicate ...
