This was not used because it was deemed too unbelievable. User reviews Review. Top review. The best parts of this movie are the actors and the suspense. Good performances, especially by Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie, and a suspenseful atmosphere highlighted an otherwise routine thriller.
The twist of the main character being a quadraplegic was also a plus. You might like the book better. It provides more insight into the characters and storylines. FAQ 1. Is this film based on a book?

Top Gap. What is the Hindi language plot outline for The Bone Collector ? Rhyme is tended by a nurse named Thelma Queen Latifah , who slaps an oxygen mask on him and chants "now breathe with me" when he goes into spasms.
He manipulates his bed, his TV, his computer and various analytical devices with a remote-control breathing tube and an extremely versatile one-button mouse.
We meet a beat cop named Amelia Donaghy Angelina Jolie. She is the first on the scene of a gruesome murder: a man buried in gravel, with only his hand showing. One finger is amputated; on its stump is his wife's wedding ring. We know right away that the killer is a contestant in the ever-escalating Hollywood Serial Killer sweepstakes, in which villains don't simply kill, but spend the time and patience of a set decorator on arranging the crime scene.
No six Agatha Christie mysteries contain as many clues, each one lovingly placed by hand, as this guy leaves. Some of them are very, very easy to miss, consisting of microscopic bits of paper about the size of THIS word, which, when pieced together by the two cops, lead to a used bookstore where wouldn't you know that a lot of books tumble from a top shelf and Amelia is able to turn to the very page where the next murder is illustrated.
Just think. If she hadn't stumbled over that rare volume, we might have been denied a scene where a father drowns but his young daughter is resuscitated--for no dramatic purpose, mind you, since she says nothing and is never seen again, but simply so sentimentalists in the audience can think, "Whew! At least she didn't drown! Most of the plot consists of a series of laboriously contrived set-ups requiring the young woman to enter dark, dangerous places all by herself, her flashlight penetrating a Spielbergian haze that makes its beam visible.
She walks into subterranean ratholes and abandoned factories where the homicidal maniac is, hopefully, lurking. She goes in alone so as not to disturb the forensics of the crime scene. If she gets killed, I guess the next cop goes in alone, too, to preserve her scene. Thnx :.

May 27, Meredith rated it really liked it Shelves: first-reads. I have read some later books in the series, so it was interesting to read the first book. I was able to gain some insight into how this series and relationships developed, especially the relationship between Sachs and Rhyme.
Like some of the later books, the plot is complicated and has many threads. I enjoyed seeing all of the threads come together. This sick individual cut people down to the bone, essentially skinning them alive. There is one scene involving rats feasting on a victim that caused me to put this book down for several days.
And the final scene with the killer being taken down was absolutely disgusting! I read some sick and twisted books, but this book takes things to another level. Trigger Warnings: Almost everything imaginable!
I won a copy of this book in a Goodreads giveaway! View all 76 comments. This is my all time favorite book. When I was in high school I hated to read. The only books I would read were the cheesy movie knock off books. My mom had said this was going to be a movie and the movie paperback edition had just come out.
I read this book in record time for me and was captivated. No book had ever held my attention, or kept me up at night with a flash light because I had to find out what happened next. Jeffery Deaver This is my all time favorite book. Jeffery Deaver was the first real author I had ever read and he left an impression on me that has caused me to be the avid reader I am today.
I searched so hard years later to find a hardback first edition of this book and found one. Last year I met Deaver for the first time and had him sign my copy.
This is the first Lincoln Rhyme novel and it made me love the character so much I began to study forensics when I got to college. The Bone Collector is a vicious killer who leaves clues to his next victim at the crime scene. The victims are left in some of the most grisly situations and the suspense is so intense I had a hard time sitting still.
This book and the writing style of Jeffery Deaver brought the joy of reading into my life, and helped me expand my horizons to find some of the best authors I have ever read. View all 24 comments. This is an outstanding, but trigger laden , dark detective crime thriller, from the highly recommended by my friends , Jeffery Deaver. A quadriplegic, former near genius forensic criminal-ist Lincoln Rhyme is considering suicide; beat cop Amelia Sachs, daughter of a well liked and well known lifelong beat cop is considering jacking in her 'uniform' role and moving to police communications; being at the wrong place at the right time and internal police politics brings these two together to inve This is an outstanding, but trigger laden , dark detective crime thriller, from the highly recommended by my friends , Jeffery Deaver.
The case is a race against time as the rocky partnership of Rhymes and Sachs use detailed forensics, research and data gathering to try and save lives and stop the killing spree! A truly compelling and thrilling book, with multiple pages of surprisingly interesting forensic search and analysis! There have been probably hundreds of thousands of crime detective books published of which the vastly majority appear to be formulaic, is must have been a blast a fresh air when this series kicked off with it's thunderous debut.
The only negative, in my opinion was the need for Amelia Sachs so beautiful, as it added nothing to the book; although Deaver could argue it might have been one of the drivers that got Hollywood to option his work and make a film from it!

And I love the dynamics between him and Sachs. They make a great team, they're ingenious together. View all 9 comments. May 23, Diane Wallace rated it really liked it. Fantastic series! Lincoln Rhyme is just stunning in this mystery,with all his brain power than he has to rely on..

I can't believe I haven't read anything by this author before - was I in a fugue? I read this as part of - The Lincoln Rhyme Collection books 1 - 4. Because I seen the movie first - a myriad of times - I couldn't help but visualise Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie in their respective roles.
Bad idea. In the book, Rhyme is Caucasian and Amelia Sachs' is a fiery redhead. So that took some getting used to. Rhyme' is in a very dark place and has a date with Dr. Berger of the Lethe Society death doctor - and he's adamant that nothing is going to change his mind.
He gradually gets interested though he still wants to die , and requests the officer who found the first victim, Amelia Sachs, be brought in - as she showed ingenuity - by sealing off the crime scene.
Although, not everyone is impressed, when she stops the traffic, whilst the UN conference is in town. The first two victims were passengers in a taxi, John Ulbercht and T. The killer leaves clues, so Rhyme' lives in a Gothic style townhouse on the Upper West Side of the city, overlooking Central Park - and his bedroom on the second floor, soon becomes the CP Command Post - which is bustling with activity. Thom, his aide, is designated the task of adding annotations to a poster, basically detailing what they know about Unsub Unknown Subject - so far.
Mel Cooper, turns Rhyme's bedroom into a mini lab, so he does a lot of tests on the samples collected by Sachs' from different crime scenes. The Hardy Boys, Bedding and Saul - do the canvassing, and they're skillful in interviewing people who live close to crime scenes - and Sachs' is Rhymes eyes and ears - and isn't too pleased about it; as she was supposed to be transferring to Public Affairs at noon, for a training session - and she's been waiting eight months for this reassignment.
You've got words like: Limo'd, brother'd, whatta, myself'd, this's, offa off of , figger figure , grounds're, dincha didn't you , he'd've, ever'body, to've, etc.
So that took some getting used to, as well. The appendix at the end, explains some of them in more detail. In summation: This was very good. There's a lot of humour and banter throughout, so that was quite amusing, too.
Awesome start to a new crime detective series for me! I definitely plan on continuing with the books. The forensics was excellent and very detailed in this book along with the clues to catch "The Bone Collector". The action was gripping and the suspense of the book was great. I loved the whole cat and mouse chase of this book to get to the next victim. The ending was epic with who the killer was and the b Awesome start to a new crime detective series for me!
The ending was epic with who the killer was and the beginning of another search for the next impending disaster. Excellent writing, characters and unforgettable plot twists!
Kudos Jeffery Deaver for adding another fan to your fanbase! This is the first instalment in the Lincoln Rhyme series. Lincoln Rhymes was once a genius in the field of criminology, often finding tiny clues that others have overlooked and seeing each crime scene from his own, unique perspective. Now he wants to die. It has been three years since the accident that resulted in his incapacitated state and the burden of living his life beholden to others has become too much for him. Assisted suicide feels like his only future option, but he is urged to aid in the capture of one more criminal before the final deed is done.
This book was penned quite a few years ago and so there was the inclusion of a few lines that were in a tasteless or pointless style. These made me wince and served no purpose to the plot or in the creation of a character.
The repeated references to the body size of one side-character was just one such instance and resulted in my four, instead of five, star rating. This, however, was my only source of discontent within this blood-soaked and brutally-rendered storyline.
It was as gripping as it was entertaining and I quickly became as plagued by the need to hunt down this serial killer as the police tasked to do just that. I believe that the multiple insights to his victims' suffering aided in aligning me so completely with Lincoln and his team, and also ensured it intimately delivered the horror of his actions. I was unprepared for the criminal's perspective to feature, which also brought with it an abundance of harrowing and tragic scenes of torture from his own delighted viewpoint.
But not even when those solving the case were left to examine the remains he left behind was the reader spared any of the intricate details about the horrors he inflicted. Deaver repeatedly brought each scene to harrowing and sickening vividity! Asides from this being an entirely engrossing thriller, the two characters who centred it were provided with their own intriguing side-plots. Lincoln's emotional and physical struggles plagued him every single day and I thought Deaver handled these with sensitivity but also authenticity.
Here, too, he did not shy away from presenting suffering with anything but the harsh glare of stark reality and, despite only having read one book from him, this feels like his signature style. Amelia is the individual working underneath Lincoln and the one burdened with bearing his harsh retorts and acting out his hard demands.
She was provided with her own personal character arc and I enjoyed seeing her blossom as she continued to come ever closer to both the man she sought and also the man who aided her in capturing him. Amie, this case of yours Crime scene. What she discovers there is definitely not for the squeamish, and very soon Amie will be engaged in one of the most urgent and most dangerous manhunts the metropolis has ever witnessed.
Which makes her quaint remark on the phone to her mother rather funny. In the darkest shades of black available in print. I went in with rather low expectations, as I prefer classic hardboiled or noir crime novels to the modern high octane offerings.
I now believe Deaver is simply one of the best writers in the subgenre, based so far on my first encounter with his lead detective Lincoln Rhyme. Something was nagging at Rhyme. An infuriating itch — the curse of all quads — though in this case it was an intellectual itch.
The kind that had plagued Rhyme all his life. Rhyme, the former chief forensic expert on the New York police force, got his injuries in the line of duty, when a heavy timber frame fell on his head at a crime scene. Now, after three years of hospital beds, chronic pain and humiliating daily mishaps, Lincoln Rhyme is only interested in how to get a doctor to assist him in ending his life.
Then his former colleagues on the force come to him with the case Amelia Sachs investigated, and Rhyme discovers that he may have lost everything, but he still has his passion for solving puzzles. The unknown perpetrator of the murder has intentionally left clues at the crime scene that seem to lead to his next victim.
It seems he wants to be stopped, if only the cops manage to decrypt his messages in time. Together, the bedridden forensic expert and the glamorous redhead, are poring over the mysterious artifacts in a race against time to put a stop to this crime spree. What makes Deaver stand out from a crowded field of would-be bestsellers is his rigorous approach to the scientific angle of a crime scene investigation I actually believe the TV series CSI was inspired by the Lincoln Rhyme series , the richness of detail regarding the city and the real clever developments in the plot, put there not only for their shocking value, but as an illustration of the salient points in the police procedures described.
Oh, and did I mention this is a true-blood page-turner, the kind that keeps you awake until morning in order to finally find out whodunit? A criminalist is a renaissance man. Yes, it makes for a gripping, edge of your seat experience, but it is also limited by the conventions of the genre: the timeline is just too tightly compressed, with too many murders taking place over just a couple of days, too many Hollywood-style narrow escapes, while the ending is just a tad too smart for its own good, with one too many reversals to make it credible.
This is a past paced murder mystery with a clever serial killer, but an even smarter criminalist leading the investigation. Confined to bed and able only to move his head and a single finger, he is looking for someone to assist his euthanasia, when the NYPD asks him to help find a kidnapping victim who may still be alive.
Choosing to make his principal detective quad This is a past paced murder mystery with a clever serial killer, but an even smarter criminalist leading the investigation. Choosing to make his principal detective quadriplegic seems a risky choice but one that works well as Rhyme's mind as is sharp as ever.
Using rookie cop Amelia Sachs as his legs to work the crime scene and collect evidence, they forge a strong partnership, but frustratingly remain one step behind the killer. I enjoyed all the detail of the forensic search of the crime scene and the setting up of a forensic lab in Rhyme's bedroom although I'm not sure how realistic this is as I'm guessing a lot of the tests would need a clean, dust free environment but I still like the idea.
Both Rhyme and Sachs have a great depth of character and the plot is fast and furious with the identity of the killer impossible to guess and an unexpected twist at the end that no one saw coming. View 1 comment. Apr 30, Drew rated it it was ok Shelves: finished , in-my-library.
It's a page-turner, and to Deaver's credit, the extensive scenes about collecting and analyzing crime scene trace evidence rarely get boring. Unfortunately, it's also pretty far-fetched. I'm willing to accept the elaborate murder methods, the exacting evidence collection, and the rapid clue-solving because they're the point of the novel.
I accept that Lincoln Rhyme is a superhuman genius up against a larger-than-life serial killer because that's what makes this worth reading. I can ALMOST accept It's a page-turner, and to Deaver's credit, the extensive scenes about collecting and analyzing crime scene trace evidence rarely get boring.
But the killer is presented both as a psycho with a bone fetish and also as a man driven insane by trauma and personal vendetta, and the two personas don't quite match up. Then there's the climax including a revelation whose essence I saw coming but whose details I didn't, which was a nice bit of misdirection , in which Lincoln Rhyme does something I still can't imagine being possible for a human being let alone a quadriplegic.
It's a good airplane book.
