Add to that several generations, past and present, and the task is nearly impossible for Phoebe Lange in “The Memory Book” by Penelope J. Stokes. Tue, 25 Mar 2008 11:01:00 +0000 http://www.gainesvilleregister.com/entertainment/local_story_085105932.html "Deja Dead" proves Reichs knows decomposition http://www.gainesvilleregister.com/entertainment/local_story_085105932.html If you want to know how forensic science can solve a murder investigation, read “Deja Dead” by Kathy Reichs.Reichs’ books inspired the Fox television show “Bones”, but fans of the show who pick up the book expecting it to be like the show, should know a few things.First, the book is set in Montreal, where Temperance Brennan has been living since splitting with her husband, Pete, about a year ago. Their daughter, Katy, is thinking about dropping out of college. There’s no cute Agent Booth to trade one-liners with, no lab “squints” to form a pseudo-family. This is much grittier.It was supposed to be routine: two city workers found bones near a traditional historic burial site. Tempe’s asked to go to the site and determine whether they are old bones from an old grave.

Would it be funny?Would the characters stay true to themselves?Would the movie be typical Simpsons fare?I kept my expectations deliberately low. Movie versions of successful television series are notorious for being disappointing all the way around.A few are fairly good. The darkly-drawn, often passionate and tormented characters of the “Batman” movies come to mind.Some are just harmless feature films that don’t live up to their namesakes such as “The Addams Family.”Others are awful movies derived from even more offensive television shows. Remember “Beavis and Butthead Do America?”“The Simpsons Movie” falls into the first category — light entertainment that doesn’t hurt anyone.

When you can’t even enjoy a fun family flick like "Chicken Little" anymore you know something’s wrong. Or maybe people are too busy comparing it to Pixar to give it a real chance.

You may also have seen her signature on one of her many paintings. You might have heard her making music.
