Perhaps you are right about liking Robin's character and wanting to see how she would develop. I read that the TV series is pretty good. We shall see...if it ever hits Netflix!Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335523622158333456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148557807474310110.post-80369553822443217192017-09-24T15:55:53.213-04:002017-09-24T15:55:53.213-04:00I haven't read this, but I have had the same e...I haven't read this, but I have had the same experience: trying to get into a book when I don't much like the characters. If I don't care what happens to them, I usually put the book aside. It sounds like you might have liked Robin just enough to want to keep going! At least you have the satisfaction of finishing. I think I'll look out for the TV adaptation before I invest my time in the book. Kathy A.

I must say I am a bit jealous that you have seen the BBC version. I might like Strike's character better on screen. I hope they got Robin right!Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335523622158333456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148557807474310110.post-1228287502682958952017-09-23T02:42:29.723-04:002017-09-23T02:42:29.723-04:00I actually quite enjoyed The Cuckoo's Calling....I actually quite enjoyed The Cuckoo's Calling. However, I definitely agree that I wouldn't have minded there being a few more sympathetic characters for me to empathise with. <br /><br />I just watched the BBC adaptation though and I was really quite impressed. I would definitely say it is worth looking out for, and I don't normally like adaptations. My partner, who hadn't read the book and who was unaware that JK Rowling was the author, also really enjoyed it. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
