Meets the Eye

Summary: Awesome Series!
Review: I honestly think this is one of the BEST series I have ever read. I've read all 4 of the Body of Evidence series and am very anxious to have the fifth in my hands. I have read the other reviews for this book and I disagree with the people who don't like these books. The thing I like the most about these books is that the killer is always someone you don't suspect. In Meets The Eye, I was almost constantly in suspense and couldn't put the book down because of that. At the beginning I thought that Jenna had made a HUGE mistake. She had thought in the pervious books that this was her calling. I don't blame her for being scared out of her mind. But, I was satisfied when she decied to go back. Towards the end, I was rapidly reading so I could find out what happened next. I think that these books are EXTERMELY well written and I can't wait for the next books in the series.

Summary: Revolting, mystifying, and totally amazing!
Review: I love this series! It keeps me in suspense. The different "cases" in the series are really original and like nothing I had ever imagined. This book has been my favorite so far. Christopher Golden presents a mystifying problem early in the story. Keep in mind that I don't usually get scared from stories or books, but at the climax of Meets the Eye, something totally unexpected happened and I nearly dropped the book with a start! I was almost crying (and laughing at myself at the same time)! I can't wait for the next book in the series.

Summary: Thrilling!
Review: Jenna Blake had had it with the life of an assistant to a somewhat mad-scientist of a Medical Examiner. That is, until she finds out about a strange new crime wave involving zombies. But Jenna knows that she has to go back to Somerset Medical Center to solve the mystery, when she tries to save the life of Tom, a freshman at Somerset, just like her, who dies, but mysteriously comes back to life days later, when his autopsy is taking place. Now she's got to find an explanation to these strange crimes involving people who are already dead. After all, zombies can't really exist, can they?

After reading the previous BODY OF EVIDENCE books, I am shocked to say that this is one of my absolute favorites. Instead of a drop-off in plots after the first few books, Golden is still going strong. Coming up with storylines that will thrill and entice you at the same time. Fans of the previous BODY OF EVIDENCE books can not miss MEETS THE EYE.

Summary: The strangest case Jenna has faced to date!
Review: Jenna Blake thought she was done being an assistant Medical Examiner but when a strange series of crimes show up she finds herself strangely drawn towards them. What's so strange about these crimes is the fact that the murderers are already dead. Torn between the want to help and solve the mystery, and to have a normal life with her friends Hunter and Yoshiko and her boyfriend Damon, Jenna is forced to make a serious decision. Will she take her old job back? Even if it means putting her life in jepordy Again??

I found this book to be an equally thilling edition to the series, one of the best to date. The "Zombie killings" are baffling and you'll never expect who the real killer is. If your a fan of the Body of evidence series and can stomache reading about a lot of gore, read this book! It's one of the best in the series that I'v read!

Summary: Night of the Living Dead . . . on campus!
Review: Pitting college freshman Jenna Blake and the rest of the Sommerset PD and ME's office against (apparent) zombies who have returned to the dead, Meets the Eye certainly raises the weirdness quotient of the Body of Evidence thrillers another notch. Nancy Drew was never like this! When creating his mysteries, Mr. Golden always manages to keep me guessing as to what's going on.

Judging from this book and the last one, Soul Survivor, it seems as if the focus of the series is shifting from figuring out whodunnit to just revealing what's going on. The plots are still interesting, but an unfortunate side effect seems to be that when the culprit is finally revealed, it seems to almost come out of left field. And that's a shame, because while the killers may be underdeveloped, the regular cast certainly isn't.

While I thought that Soul Survivor tried to wrap up the emotional scars from the previous book (Thief of Hearts) too quickly, Meets the Eye moves the characters along at a more natural pace. Jenna's relationships with her father, her classmates, and her coworkers are proceeding in a believable fashion. Her relationship with Damon Harris continues to grow, and it'll be interesting to see if her crush with Detective Danny Marciano raises its ugly head again in later books to interfere with that.

Pathologists Slick and Dyson take on slightly larger roles this time around, in some surprising ways. Mr. Golden established early on in this series that nobody is necessarily safe, that everyone is a potential victim, and that really helps the suspense this time around. And, of course, we get some more of Mr. Golden's grisly murder scenes and--wonder of wonders--fight scenes that really make violence seem like a bad thing, instead of glorifying it.

I still really enjoy this series, and think it's appropriate for adults as well as teens. (Parents of younger readers might want to check out the levels of violence, gore, and the increasingly mature language creeping into the books to make sure they're acceptable for their children.) I just wish Mr. Golden would get back to creating killers who are as interesting as his cast of heroes or their methods of killing.
