Every fictional detective has his or her gimmick, from Sherlock Holmes's violin to Nero Wolf's orchids, and Rhyme is no exception. He is a quadriplegic who can move nothing but a single finger. Gadget-philes will be in seventh heaven reading about Lincoln Rhyme's tools; other readers might feel the book could do with a few more plausible characters and a little less technology. --Amazon.com -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

This is the first book in the Lincoln Rhyme series, and it helped me undestand some facts about Rhyme and Sachs (I read both The Coffin Dancer and The Empty Chair before I read Bone Collector).
From the very first chapter you will be hooked. This book doesn't have the same twists and turns as "Dancer"and "Chair" but it is still very enjoyable. The atmosphere is tense all throughout, and you can't help but feel the fear of the victims... I can tell you that my heart was pumping fast quite a few times as I tried to turn the pages quickly to see if the victim would be rescued, would free her or himself, or whether the bone collector would add another one to his collection.
It is great to see how Sachs and Rhyme's relationship got started. Characters are very well developed in this novel and Deaver's villains are just eerie. Rhyme and Sachs are great characters and I'm actually depressed there are no novels left for me to read in this series. All I can say is I can't wait till next year.
By the way the glossary at the end of the novel is a great touch that helps to understand some of the forensic lingo.
In Conclusion, If you haven't seen the movie read the novel first I'm sure you will enjoy it. If you have seen the movie read the novel anyway. Believe me, the movie was nothing compared to this novel.
Pd. My recommendation would be to read them in order. First Collector, then Dancer, and finally Empty chair. However, even reading them out of order was very enjoyable but now I do feel I might have missed something. (Check out my reviews of Dancer and Empty Chair) END
The forays into bits of arcane New York history, as well as the sleuthing done almost entirely through the application of forensics and deductive reasoning, make for a very interesting read. While at times it seems that no one could be as uncannily accurate as Rhyme in deciphering the meaning of the physical evidence, this contrivance does serve to move the plot along. With the story line so engrossing and the crime scenes horrific, as well as ingenious, it is the kind of book that is hard to put down, because you simply cannot wait to see what happens. The surprise ending is the icing on the cake.
Assisting Rhyme with his work is Police Officer Sachs who, while not as compelling a character as Rhyme, is essential to the story. It is her character who does the 'heavy lifting' so to speak. Highly intelligent and resourceful, with an innate appreciation of the importance of physical evidence, she inspects and preserves the crime scenes, as well as gathers the physical evidence from which Rhyme ultimately weaves his magic. She also serves as somewhat of a Deus Ex Machina in that she saves the day in more ways than one.
Sachs is a wonderful foil for Rhyme in that she runs hot to his cold. She is driven by her desire to help others, as well as by her own personal demons, while he is ever the calm, cool, collected clinician, whose desire to preserve a crime scene may supercede the milk of human kindness latent within his emotionally atrophied soul. The personal connection that Rhyme ultimately develops with Officer Sachs is one that leaves you hoping that they will be teamed up again in yet another novel.
