by
by

It's The One With All the Feelings..
A tense,thrill mystery interwoven with complicated emotions, kind of love..even Nostalgia.
No matter how you imaged Strike,


Here you'll get more into him, into his Feelings specially toward his precious engaged partner, Robin..his friends,-I bet you gonna Love Shanker-..


ِ..into his past, During his..

..Career of Evil.

& No matter whether you read the previous ones or not, you'll adore the Remarkable, excellent written, relation of Strike & Robin..


This wonderful unique chemistry between them.. part admiration, part comfortable, exceptional partnership and a little bit of un-name-able kind of can-be love.
It has started 3 years ago -one year in the story timeline-,since she came to 12 Bar Cafe as an unwanted temp.
lf you read the first book that what will make you really nostalgic when you read this one..with all the characters and events developments.
And this time their relation facing a really hard time, some maniac blood and body parts craving murderer is set to sabotage Strike's career and reputation, and then..finish him.
and this murderer made clear that he's targeting Robin as a main mean to do so.
And not to mention the approaching of Robin's Wedding date to her Strike's hater fiancée, Matthew..and a huge fight that may stop the wedding that will increase the complications.
Because hard times make people more vulnerable emotionally, and relations usually get deeper. And this case made Strike and Robin face the darkest, hardest time..all that made this book the one with all the mixed feelings and emotions that very great written , as Rowling's best story telling usual..
And it's not only the feelings of Strike and Robin, You'll get more into Robin's personal life in this one since she have bigger part, and not only her... it has larger scale of Feelings..
The feeling of the amputees , and a strange mental disorder that made some healthy wanna be so. -first time to hear about this community-
The Feelings of women who unfortunately end up with the wrong guy, whether they still staying ,suffering, with them...or who from their past and left them broken and lonely..
Some of them may be just boyfriend, a stepfather, a husband, even a brother..or may be a fiancée that his girl not knowing how wrong her choice is...
And most importantly in the main story, The feeling of women and even little girls who suffered sexual abuses, from strangers or even someone close... how that change their lives ,the feeling of unsecured and shuttered.how sometimes the police make it hard time for the women while taking their statements.
It's really big story this time, and told you, full of feelings..
The Story
-------
A very perfect constructed Story , with faster than the first 'Cuckoo's Calling' and larger in the main characters' life and emotions..friends and family And adversaries..
Robin -instead of Wedding party cameras- received a served woman's leg addressed to her in Cormoran's office.
It's seem to be someone want to bring Cormoran Strike's businesses down and he made a satisfying success..
Strike could think of 4, or 3 main suspect capable of doing so, they're from his past..and one of them is his late 'stepfather' who Strike already suspect he has murdered his mother..
And that's not all..now this bloody murderer not only want vengeance of Strike, but also made it clear that he's targeting what seems to him Strike's weakness...Robin.
Why this murderer need vengeance will lead Strike to think more into his past, his career being in the Special Investigations Branch..
also will lead him into more thinking of Robin, who endanger her life keeping her work with him.. also thinking of her fast approaching Wedding to Matthew, who may take her off his life..
The life of a lone wolf..
The Lone Wolf
~~~~~~~~~~~~
No doubt whoever well read the stories of Cormoran Strike will really feel how deep and interesting character he is..

I always imaged him as Hugh Jackman, but since that I had a big backlash comments about him I changed the main photo to -BASED ON FRIENDS and GOODREADS USERS COMMENTS that mentioned other actors both on my Silkworm and this novel's pre review, I choose the most accurate ones..
Also Thank you for the mention in your blog, and the idea of the particular scene of X-Men I used for Strike portrait.
It was great How Mr. Robert Galbraith described the deep feelings for a lone wolf, who had a broken heart before , not that social, haunted by his past and infamous life of his mother..and has this complicated relation with his businesses partner 'Robin'..
you can clearly see how he defend himself of admitting he truly loves her without writing direct lines, you will observe that through his actions with Robin.
Strike is really interesting character, and so is Robin..so is all the characters that been mentioned before but get bigger role this time..
And it's why I really don't care much about the not-related-to-the-case stuff that the books usually full with.
And here you'll get into more of them, their past..family and friends..and even adversaries..
The Career of Evil
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tensed fast thrilled that full of emotions and feelings and many horrible bloody scenes.
This time full of real tense and some chapters ends in a real cliffhangers.
-I am writing this review by the last 15% of the novel, with a cliffhanger dangers the continuation of Robin in the next stories.-
The novel is obsessed with the many references Blue Oyster Cult, which is have a base in the core of the novel's mystery since the murderer seems obsessed with this band as well.
You can see the phrases of their songs' lyrics in every chapter..
And, as the rest of the series, it's like a detailed Travel literature into England..you visit many places, interesting ones..
such as -for example here-:
Barrow-in-Furness and it's gloomy streets and nuclear submarines bunkers.

The interesting Market Harborough

The Sweet entrance of Catford Shopping Centre

And many many more..
And also living the atmosphere of the time the novel taking place, here in the April-June 2011, the major thing in GB was the Royal Wedding..

And, this time, interweaving all these places and events with the main core of the story is more than marvellous.
-As the Royal Wedding and Robin Story for example-
J.K. Rowling Robert Galbraith
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I guess one of the advantages of using a man , an Ex-SIB officer and actually a man, is being free to do all these bloody scenes some of it Stephen King's bloody type.
As well the great description of the murderer mind, it was also super insight into the feelings of women who suffered rape or sexual abuses..it was very realistic and even the reaction of the ones near the sufferer or the toughness of some police officers is very well stated in the novel.
SO, it's still her, the Queen of Magic, master storytelling elements, getting deep into characters and their feeling, analysing body language and actions without waiting for explanations..
Humorous moments and deep meaning ones, that's what you will fall in love with this series because of this unique storytelling style.
That's , of course, if you don't mind many, or much, digressions.

Now I must go to read the last 75 pages to see what will happen to Robin...and who the bloody murderer will be...
-The Review of 9 Nov. 2015 ends here
Let's Talk the Ending..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AGAIN, It's The One With All the Feelings...
The One with All the Emotions..
The One with All the Tense..
And all the tensed bloody thrill and slowly resolving the hard, very well constructed mystery in a thrilling double climax..
Then came the very Bittersweet Ending..
Without giving much , as a dear friend has said "Bloody Hell" or as Robin says "Bugger"
An Ending that will leave you grinning, sad a bit, feeling you wanna know more, you wanna more pages ,you don't want to leave them..
The ending...so tense..more excited I was really on the edge of my seat ,literally holding my breath..
Oh God the Ending...
(view spoiler)
these 2 last points about the ending really pissed me off, but not with the novel of course...it is really one of my best reads
How to know you've been reading a real good,even brilliant literature..
well, I had the symptoms of loss by finishing the novel, after about 12 days of reading as slowly as possible to not end it.....
1-I was really deep thinking ,kinda haunted with the story and keeping the details in mind..,how long did it pass since we 'Strike,Robin and me' received the leg..and who will be the real murderer of the three suspects..
2- The waiter in the cafe I read at told me today "you've been in this book, for few days you've been tensed sometimes and widely grinning many times" , hell yeah I did :) ... I caught myself grinning a lot despite controlling so while I'm in public cafe, siting alone..
3- I Don't know what can I read next although I had a plan for 3 big horrors.I can't see myself committing with big novels now, may be even any novel for a day or two... I just wanna read the next Strike's novel..
So Please Mr.Galbraith.. do your best , I know you always do..:)

The Lone Wolf
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yet he knew he had been left impaired, that he no longer had the capacity to feel in the way that he had once felt. Elin’s distress of the previous evening had not touched him at his core in the way Charlotte’s had once done. He felt as though his capacity for loving had been blunted, the nerve endings severed.
He had not intended to wound Elin; he did not enjoy seeing her cry; yet the ability to feel empathetic pain seemed to have closed down. A small part of him, in truth, had been mentally planning his route home as she sobbed.
No doubt whoever well read the stories of Cormoran Strike will really feel how deep and interesting character he is..

I always imaged him as Hugh Jackman, but since that I had a big backlash comments about him I changed the main photo to -BASED ON FRIENDS and GOODREADS USERS COMMENTS that mentioned other actors both on my Silkworm and this novel's pre review, I choose the most accurate ones..

Women were so petty, mean, dirty and small. Sulky bitches, the lot of them, expecting men to keep them happy. Only when they lay dead and empty in front of you did they become purified, mysterious and even wonderful. They were entirely yours then, unable to argue or struggle or leave, yours to do with whatever you liked.
As well the great description of the murderer mind, it was also super insight into the feelings of women who suffered rape or sexual abuses..it was very realistic and even the reaction of the ones near the sufferer or the toughness of some police officers is very well stated in the novel.
SO, it's still her, the Queen of Magic, master storytelling elements, getting deep into characters and their feeling, analysing body language and actions without waiting for explanations..
Humorous moments and deep meaning ones, that's what you will fall in love with this series because of this unique storytelling style.
“You could find beauty nearly anywhere if you stopped to look for it, but the battle to get through the days made it easy to forget that this totally cost-free luxury existed.�
That's , of course, if you don't mind many, or much, digressions.

Now I must go to read the last 75 pages to see what will happen to Robin...and who the bloody murderer will be...

The first 3 chapters are so interesting and very into the core of the plot ,not like the previous 2 books...which seem to be it will be a real dangerous plot..
Loved seeing again Strike, Robin and even Eric Wardle from Book One..
Loved coming back to the busy Denmark Street...
With a hell of bloody case."

But we still don't know much of the 4 suspects who might send the severed leg, only we know about the past of one of them, Strike's mother's late young husband.

Well, I thought of many by the first half of book one, But trust me Hugh always can make his body really huge, He's The Wolverine ,also he's tall and got that darkness side you know...the lone wolf side as Cormoran


Oh , It ring a bill and I find out that every time I search Cormoran Strike in google photos I get some Tom Hardy pics, well he's fine and handsome
But I love Huge's toughness :)

Oh Thanks a Million Yehia , when I first read the email " Yehia posted a new comment on Mohammed's review of Career of Evil on ŷ." I thought oh God, my ŷ account has been hacked and someone start review for books I've never heard of :)
Thanks a Million man for this priceless information :)


yeah I checked , the problem is I'm more "face" guy than twitter one :)

Well, He's good too, I love Hagrid :) and I'm okay if I saw him in Big Screen or the TV in the role of Strike , Yet The Novels' Strike will be always Hugh in my head :)

You're right, he's not as big as Strike yet he can be a pretty cool detective, attractive ,bit dark and smart.
Sad it'll be a TV show not movies :(

It's not fast action thriller , I believe I felt it as a part of the life of some detective in London , in a life's turning point case...
/review/show...

Oh why ? he's in my mind since mid-book one..
And I saw a photo for him that I used in my book 2 review that almost Strike with his fuzzy hair
/review/show...
But this photo totally Cormoran Strike :)
what do u think?


While I love the man, he clearly is tooo pretty to be Cormoran. He is described as having pube hair on his head and is massive. Robbie Coltrane is definetly a better choice. Leave Hugh to be Roarke if there ever is an In Death movie

Well , I don't know , I like Robbie of course but he's too kind,sweet , so Hagrid ,you know.
I tried to imagine Hugh with some hair style and some bulk -he can do that if u saw Wolverine-
also he can be dark ... as Strike

That's who I picture immediately. The guy who played that character.

Ah I c , nice choice too , but bit older don't you think?
Anyway I choose Hugh after mid of book one, but ee only knew how old is Strike by late of book 2

But he's too old now :) , I only remember him in this movie with Julia Roberts in the 90s, and still old :)

Wow, the Hugh Jackman's pic got the most backlash comments here.
well, Robbie is fine sure, many say that Rowling herself imagined him for the role
but for me he's a bit too nice to be the bit dark lone wolf type of Strike..
Also I thought of Hugh Jackman at the first book basically because we didn't know exactly how old is he until book 2

Thank you so much dear friend Clarita for the early tip....made my day really
And transferred me back to Tottenham Court Road and Denmark st. Where Mr. Strike's office is...
so glad to be back even for 2 chapters for now


Just a bit ...but u really seem hate Hugh
anyway I guess I must remove his photo by the final review
I will miss all the backfire comments though about choosing him :)


Liev is also good one , and many said Tom Hardy as well :)
and to be honest as soon as I start the reading I will change Hugh Jackman's pic :) enough for The Silkworm's review ...I love him too but All I got is feed back that he can't be Strike :)

احد الاصدقاء بعتت لي نسخة كاملة وكمان نسخة بي دي اف اول يوم
انا طلبته من امازون وهو في السكة
اكون طلعت من تحت القبة وأبدأ فورا في مهنة الشيطان :)

I was just have to check who's the hell is he first :) BUT BINGOOO your choice is really more perfect than mine ,have to admit.. :)

It's on EVERT torrent site :) it's a phenomenon :)

I can't believe I didn't think of Sewell! He's a favorite of mine and seems right for Strike. What Mohammed said . . . Bingo!

Oh God I start reading it..it's so dark this time.. Sadly I can't change Hugh now in my mind but I gave Sewell's an important part in my mind :)
Anyone knows if there's any news about the BBC adaptation?

Hello Robert , I don't know where r u from to help u more, anyway I ordered it from amazon.co.uk which can deliver to anywhere I guess, and I choose the uk not the US site cause it's faster and I wasn't able to wait :) it released in US and UK anyway at every book store I guess at 20th Oct.
I feel lucky to have it in Egypt before 30th Oct :)

I referenced your casting in my own review:


I referenced your cas..."
Well really thank you so much for the mention ,also I'm so glad that finally someone agree with me on "Hugh Jackman" and not mentioning any other one :)
I have to admit I read many good even greater choices from friends here BUT I just can't while reading this one to change Hugh after imagining him all along book 1 and 2
The scene you mention is ,WOW, exactly typical Strike :) in a bar, smoking, alone :) bit tough ,wow
I will read your full review when I finish ,"P.100 right now:)"
Thanks again :)

Thank you so much Redeagl ,just arrived Thursday from the post office :)
BTW why are they hiding the status of reading? I add a photo of it 2 days ago :(

I noticed that but I thought that this was a problem in my internet it is a strange problem.
