The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith
3.0
JK Rowling is a brilliant writer. I enjoyed the journey and I loved the characters.
However, it wasn't the best book I've read, and ultimately I was almost.... Disappointed I suppose, with the ending.
Not that it wasn't brilliant in its own way. It just seemed almost typical. And I would agree with something my mom said after having read the book: it's similar to an everyday crime television show, like Castle. What was more interesting throughout was not necessarily the mystery, but what was going on with the main characters, and the killer is someone you least expect almost to the point of it being a taaaaad ridiculous.
But all the characters are great, and I enjoyed the portrayal of world of celebrities. Despite my review I would read the next adventure of Cormoran and Robin for the same reason I watch shows like Castle: because it was entertaining and I enjoyed myself.
