Chungledown Bim reviewed The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith (Cormoran Strike #1)
Review of "The Cuckoo's Calling" on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Wasn't a fan of this book. Just sayin.
Much like the authors previous series, it's a great idea & well-written, but mired in awful narrative. It's just an entire book of exposition. A story of someone telling a story. There's a paragraph here & there with a flashback or the protagonist thinking of something unrelated to the immediate events... But for all the nonstop development the characters remain staunchly one-dimensional & the plot just plods along, zombiesque, at you. A little dull, but at least coherent. You could do worse.
