Spoilers thread for those who finished reading the book
I'm starting this thread so anyone who finished reading the book can discuss the content without spoiling others.
First thing I had to say is: When Mack had a rash around his you-know-what and Brushy refused to have sex with him, she told him to 'call' her doctor. Later on he did and was prescribed a 'salve' for it. In real life this can never happen. A doctor cannot prescribe Rx for someone who is not his patient. Plus we take 'rashes' down there very seriously. STD's can't be treated by just a 'salve'. LOL.
I don't think it was a STD, but still he could have picked up nasty stuff from the Russian Baths.

Thread idea!
Very good idea for a thread! Reading the book and all that has not much to do with the script for the pilot, which will be whatever the executive producer decides as he overlooks everything, but fun just the same!

You're right Marie. They usually change the book for the Movie or TV. The book will probably be used as a reference point for the characters.
The TV series Bones is based on the books by Kathy Reichs and are completely different from the books but each good in their own way.
I would think Pleading Guilty would also deviate from the book but draw on it's premise.

Ordered the book from Barnes and Noble yesterday and it's already been shipped. Couldn't find it in 2 bookstores (in the big city). Should be here Monday and looking forward to getting started.
Marie--The books Bones is based on take place in North Carolina and Montreal. Instead of an FBI agent there's a Detective with the Montreal Police. They are really good. I recommend the books. There is a series of 12 books.

SPOILERS...SPOILERS....SPOILERS....
OK, finally finished reading the book...since the book has an ending, the series is definitely going 2B different...by ending, I mean, the story is told
and done....so, I'm assuming that the characters will be the same, but everything else will change.....Mack probably gives the money back, or something, so a series can be made...unless, he leaves for the tropical island, and does his lawyer stuff, there (which I doubt)...LOL
Something I don't understand, in the book, it's mostly lawyer stuff, with a bit of detective work, from Mack...why in the hell would JI have 2B out and about with real cops?? Maybe, they want to show how he used to be
a cop, then became a lawyer....I wish we could get hold of the script..LOL
I was glad that Mack took the initiative, and kept the $$$$
OK, did Brushy really intend to set up Mack (as he stated at the end)
or did she really fall for Mack????

I think Brushy really likes Mack but she wanted him to 'do the right thing'.
I want to see the two of them stay as good friends on the series but always have that sexual tension going on. Brushy is very promiscuous though so I don't know how many episodes it will take before Mack jumps in the sack with her.....

I'm sure they'll tease us along for quite awhile before anything takes place.
Have only started the book but can see changes. Jason is not the way Mack is described. He's not 6'3", a bit overweight and have a slight red tinge to his face.
But I can see where Jason would like this character. He's going to be interesting with a lot of contrasting bits to his personality.
I just hope this doesn't turn into another case of the week lawyer show.
