The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Naming the Bones in Books

Louise Welsh knows how to intrigue her readers and, like any good mystery writer, gives them enough twists and turns to keep them interested to the last page. But instead of using a professional (like investigator or detective) to get to the bottom of this story, she puts the research in the hands of a Professor of Literature on sabbatical, trying to write the story of his favourite poet's brief life for a book. Using this as the basis of the story, the people in his life also get tangled into the strange circumstances of the poet's life and death. For people like myself, who don't care much for the mystery genre, Welsh proves once again that you don't need to be a fan to enjoy her works.

Robert Downey Jr's first post-Marvel/Iron Man foray, in which he takes on the role of celebrated vet Dr Dolittle (he who can 'talk to the animals' … although there's no singing in this version!), this is a pretty basic by-the-numbers children's film.

I've also no idea why Downey Jr is putting on a (very bad) Welsh accent throughout.
