Query: Bogged down

I have to echo the sentiments of those who found the story too bogged down in technical details. I found myself skipping paragraphs at a time until I got to the part where Tempe Brennan interpreted the information in layman's terms. I thought the character development was shallow; I people prefer fleshed-out characters, I guess, not flat ones who seem to have hardly any pasts and little depth. Finally, what I found as irritating as the excessive technical jargon was all the French. A "oui" here and there would indicate that the character was of French descent (not that I cared); I didn't want the French lesson. Reichs might be proud of her bilingualism, but it was just more text for me to pass over.
