[2Days1Book][Book Review] The Silkworm

Another novel from Robert Galbraith or J.K. Rowling, in the series of Cormoran Strike, the detective. When I saw this novel in the bookstore, I immediately bought it. Because of course I have the first novel of Cormoran Strike adventure and I want to read more about his adventure.

I like detective novel but it seems like this book is a little bit different that previous one. It's boring. I'm not sure why I think this way. Maybe because it's using english? but i think not really because I read many english books and novel, and boring is out of my list. Maybe because of the plot?

You can see in the back cover the synopsis of the novel. About how the victim is found died. But, to the point of story where the victim found dead is taking a long pages to be read. Almost quarter of the book, you can find that story.

It's kinda a bit... too many string attached in front of the story line. I know that it's interesting to know the introductory and why the case happened. But it's too much.

It's a good book. But not great enough.

It's actually depends on the person on how they read the novel. Some people like me wanna find the interesting stories as soon as possible. But some people like to read it slowly.

Okay enough for the "thought" about this Silkworm... let's move to the review.

Cormoran Strike has another case from a lady who lost her husband. Literally lost, means not coming home for weeks. Her husband's name is Quine, a famous novelist. Cormoran and Robin (his assistant) tried to find Quine's whereabouts. From going to one place to another, from one person to another. But, the most interesting thing to him is that most of the person he wants to meet are asking to meet him first. Because they seem to have interest in the son's of John Rokerby's son rather than the case itself.

He found out that Quine's have a novel manuscript that touch real people's lives. Dangerously, can make someone to kill Quine. What kind of novel is that? It called Bombyx Mori (the latin name of Silkworm).

Then, the murder is really happened. Quine is brutally murdered by someone he knew. Cormoran and Robin have to find the killer, at this point.

In the middle of the story, there are several romanticism touch. For instance, how Robin felt about Matthew (her fiancee) 's point of view on Cormoran, and how Cormoran felt to Robin. Kinda bizarre situation in this detective novel hahaha

So... how about the ending? nope I will not going to tell you because it's gonna ruin the story. hahaha
