Ich liebe diese Reihe! Sie wird mit jedem Band besser. Ich kenne alle bisher erschienenen Bücher der Reihe schon in Deutsch und rereade sie derzeit in Englisch. Der erste Teil ist im Gegensatz zu den späteren Bänden recht "dünn" mit nicht Mal 500 Seiten. Der erste große Fall von Strike und Robin ist trotzdem sehr spannend und man mag das Buch gar nicht weglegen. Auch sind Strike und Robin sehr interessante Charaktere, deren Entwicklung und den Folgebänden weiter faszinierend bleibt.
Solider Krimi, interessante Protagonisten
Oh you bloody fucking genius Rowling. Such a wonderful story. The arrogant English loquaciousness is so well utilized and the technology crap is so well marginalized that it becomes a masterpiece that is set in this era but it might as well not be. The supporting characters are sketched out vividly but that is for later novels. There is a plot as well lurking in shadows, no doubt, and it does indulge your grey cells. However the sole purpose of this novel is the introduction and celebration of Strike. Cormoran, the one legged detective, who has his daddy issues and is afraid of connecting with anyone(due to his daddy issues possibly) is so astoundingly helpless that the reader, like Robin, finds himself helplessly entangled in his histrionics and forced to help him out. Harry Porter is a name Rowling will never escape. However, judging from the fine start, Cormoran Strike will not be just a footnote in her anthology.
I loved the idea but found myself getting quite bored with it halfway through.
Me gusto bastante la historia, me suelde con ganas de mas ya estoy impaciente por que salga el próximo de esta serie
J.K weiß wie man plastische, interessante und vielschichtige Charaktere schreibt. Das Buch lebt definitiv von dem sympathischen Duo das gemeinsam Fälle löst. Während das Buch sehr langsam beginnt und auch generell nicht besonders schnell Fahrt aufnimmt, macht es trotzdem durchaus Lust auf mehr. Lediglich die Lösung des Falles hat mich nicht komplett abgeholt da doch zu viele Fragen für mich offen blieben. Zusätzlich hätten ein paar Charakter weniger der Story keinen Abbruch getan und diese sogar klarer und geordneter gemacht.
It's a good book. It doesn't drag on forever, the conclusion comes almost too quickly. I feel like I knew who is the killer was, but the detective really has it more detailed. Psychopath of course.
Took me so long to start on this book and even longer in the beginning to get through it. I will be honest, the first few 100/150 pages I was really doubting to stop reading because it couldn’t interest me. My aunt pursuaded me (she already read the book) to keep going because it is, in her words, “a good series”! I kept reading and at one point it caught me, I loved how the rest of the book unfolded itself and came to the ending as it is. I can deffo say, I can’t wait to start reading the second part (and rest of the series).
The Cuckoo's Calling was provided kindly by Bloggerportal and Blanvalet in exchange for an honest review. Plot Cormoran Strike, private investigator, is hired by lawyer John Bristow to prove the murder of his younger sister and model Lula Landry. She fell from the balcony of her apartment, which for many family members and friends of Lula looked like suicide. But John Bristow is firmly convinced that it was murder. The deeper Cormoran dives into the investigations, the more it becomes clear to him that the police might not have delivered such a brilliant work, as perhaps the press had exuberantly reported. Who can Cormoran trust in the end? Cover The cover does not reveal much of the plot but it seems to want to create a certain gloomy atmosphere. A typical crime scene cover, of whose genre I would like to see more ingenious covers, in order to have more optical diversity. The presumed gloom and seriousness, however, is not quite reflected in the story. More about in my opinion section. My Opinion As I mentioned above, I was very much looking forward to The Cuckoo’s Calling, but was somewhat skeptical of the fact, because I am not the biggest crime mystery fan. The Stranger by Harlan Coban has shown me, for example, that crime thrills are very exciting and anything but dull). Crime books always seem to have a similar structure, which can be either lengthy and boring written or so that one is fevered and co-riddled. In the following section, I will list the points and describe the features of The Cuckoo’s Calling, which have been especially memorable. Conclusion So why did I decide to give the book The Cuckoo’s Calling by Robert Galbraith 4 out of 5 stars? Now that I have dragged it through the mud, I must admit that I still had loads of fun reading it. The negative details have occurred to me only afterwards, and have only left a bit of bitter aftertaste, which should not reduce the reading pleasure. xo Annina --- This is a shortened review. You can read the full review on my blog Blattzirkus.
Not a huge fan of crime fiction and I only read it because JK Rowling wrote it. I was more into it than any other thriller I've read so far but it could have been shorter. The story dragged on a bit during the middle. Still, I continue reading this series.
