Browsing the Express Bestsellers shelves at the library, I saw it: The Cuckoo's Calling, by Robert Galbraith... or, as was revealed, J. K. Rowling.
Ah, the dilemma. Do I read a book I never would have read, just because it was written by Harry Potter's puppetmaster? Do I want to be one of THOSE people, one more in the stampeding herd of followers??? I don't even LIKE most crime novels. Don't get me wrong, I will read almost anything, but I find mystery novels to be a bit of a crapshoot, mostly because I don't like anything too creepy. I don't like creepy. And what if I hated the book? It might sully my opinion of J. K.
But then I figured, well, I don't particularly like fantasy novels but I love the Harry Potter series. So I decided to give it a shot.
Do I hear hooves?
(At least I know I'm not alone, the book hit the top of the Maclean's bestseller list and it's still up there.)
Galloping along... the book. It's a good read and a good story. The writing is solid. The novel is not fabulous. Nor does it suck. It's not gripping - I managed to put it down at 11 to go to bed on the day I started reading it - but at the same time it moves at a decent pace and held my interest. But, and I can't stress enough how key this is, it was NOT CREEPY. So I'm not going to be scarred for life. Yay! All in all, feel free to read it but don't expect it to rock your world.
I suggested that The Husband read it, so he is.
Verdict: Recommended
