Summary: I read from cover to cover
Comment: Ms. Manhein's story telling and humor kept me glued to the pages of her book. It's not an easy task to describe the complicated world of Forensics in a way for others to understand. Yet, Ms. Manhein accomplishes this in an informative, yet simple manner. Her humorous stories mixed in with her own personal life, not only made me feel as if I knew a little more about Forensic Anthropology, but I knew her famly and the state of Louisiana as well. She is an excellent writer and congratulate her on a job well done.

Summary: The Bone Lady ROCKS!
Comment: The Bone Lady: Life as a Forensic Anthropologist is a great read and anyone interested in forensic anthropology should pick this book up. It's not a technical laden book of words that are only known to this field. It's written in a format that can be easily read and understood. Inasmuch as I enjoyed her writing, I wish she had written more books. I was hoping to read more about her cases and if there were any updates. Even possibly getting more into detail of the forensic process.

Summary: Encouraging perspective of forensic anthropology
Comment: Forensic anthropology has been an interest of mine ever since I read Dr. Maple's book, "Dead Men do Tell Tales." I was hooked, but not under the impression that I could do much with a degree lower then a doctorate in the subject. Mary Manhein is an equally engaging author,yet is encouraging throughout the book. She tells of her own life and how she returned to school after her children got older. She doesn't have a doctorate, but she still teaches college courses and is an active forensic anthropologist. Her story is equally balanced with details of her personal life and her career. The book gives an excelent perspective on what a forensic anthropologists experience in the context of reality.
