5.0 out of 5 stars Body of Evidence Books are great thrillers, December 14, 1999

Caitlin (Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Soul Survivor (Mass Market Paperback)

I've read 2 of the Body of Evidence books and I cant wait to start the 3rd! Jenna is very realistic and so are the rest of the characters and the setting too. I am hooked on these books! It really opened the world of college and pathology up to me! At first I was skeptical about the books because of their names and what they were about, so they sat on the shelf for a month, but when I opened the book "Body Bags" I couldn't put it down! As soon as I finished that I went right on to "Theif of Hearts". All I can say is Keep em' comin Chris!

4.0 out of 5 stars Soul Survivor, March 1, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Soul Survivor (Mass Market Paperback)

I like Christopher Golden's pace and style. His characters (except for the professor and her roommate)are solid and his descriptions are realistic. There are some weaknesses to the plot of this thriller,though. One is his treatment of the laitmotif. Although Golden did research on cults and rituals,he mixes them up and his confusion is noticeable. His concept of transmigration of the soul is too superficial. Explanations of the killer's motifs are very sketchy,caricaturesque at best. Then it's the unexpected twist he gives to the end. Not too convincing. It leaves you hanging, less surprised than annoyed at the mediocre resolution. I still recommend the book for aspiring writers to keep a open eye on what works and what doesn't in literature.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another weird one? Count me in!, January 11, 2002

By 

"kazuha_chan02" (Kirkland, WA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Soul Survivor (Mass Market Paperback)

Another set of weird murders have hit Somerset. In each of the crime scenes, the killer leaves obvious markings that have to do with ancient rituals. M.E. assistant Jenna Blake helps police solve this new puzzle. Can she piece together clues and imformation from her research in time to identify and find the killer before the killer finds another victim?
There are many twist and turns thourghout this book, but it all eventually comes together and the ending makes sense. The discriptions are clear and vivid and they bring us back to the reality of murders. It starts with a bang and leaves you hanging at the end of every chapter. I've always liked how Chistopher Golden depicts his charaters and their thoughts and opinions. At the moment I can't think of anything bad about the book. I enjoyed reading this book. It is a nice edition to the "A Body of Evidence" series. I recomand it to anyone who has enjoyed any of the previous books in this series and anyone who just likes a good mystery.
