WIJFR: The Cuckoo's Calling

RevJen

I get why she released it under a pseudonym.  There's a lot of cursing, a lot of unlikable people, etc.  Same thing with The Casual Vacancy.  But there were also some nice characters, interesting backgrounds, and a whole lot of whodunit.  It was fun, occasionally sloggy like in DH during the months long camping trip but everything came together quite nicely in the end.

Sorry but I just love this chicken face. It makes me laugh every time I see it.

I'm reading this now. I'm finding it pretty boring so far. I'm only about 100 pages in, though. Does it pick up any? 

RevJen

It definitely gets more intriguing. There's a lot of visits and figuring stuff out. Not a lot of running around or actiony type stuff. Have you read Patricia Cornwell's Kay scarpetta series? Similar to that.

I'm looking forward to reading this!

Is it weird that I have no desire to read this or The Casual Vacancy? Am I alone in this?

RevJen

No. A lot of people feel that way. But I'm willing to let her tell me whatever story she wants. Same with every other author I enjoy. Their world, their story.

Am I a jkr fan? Always.

Cool. I've got this on hold at the library!

Nope. You're not alone. I feel bad but I will probably just buy them to support her and never read them. I love JKR like she's family but neither of her non HP books sound like ones I'd normally read.

Thanks for making that comparison. I have read some of the Scarpetta series so that helps a lot. I think I will like this book then, because I enjoyed the Scarpetta series!!
