Cormoran Strike is one of my favorite series and the Running Grave was my best book of 2023. I could not put it down!!!

[@marier6881]

I agree it's the best one the series so far

[@catgladwell5684]

The more I read of Robin the more I think of her as a grown up Hermione. They are both clever, brave and extremely kind. And the Robin actress's name is Granger, coincidentally!

It’s so nice to see someone on KZbin supporting Jo! ❤️

Book and person who wrote it are completely different things. Some people are able to separate this.

The mere fact that JK Rowling has not only the ability but the disposition, of using her amazing writing talent to offer people the opportunity of creating critical thinking, as opposed to incite mindless hatred talks about the quality of a person and an artist that she is. That definitely cannot be said about her "critics" that are anything but actual critics...

what a treat to share such book joy! thanks juan for the enthusiasm.

I actually loved the Ink Black Heart! I thought it was brilliant how all the characters and moderators acted online vs how they were in real life. I liked reading the threads, and the mystery of it. But The Running Grave was another level of brilliance! I was holding my breath at the end!! Now I am not sure what to do with myself until the next book comes out! I also am really inspired by JK Rowling, her books and her personal story. 😊

Thank you for being brave enough to rave about JK. She saved my life too and her writing has the ability to bring me joy and solace in a way that no other series or author can. I don’t ever want to invalidate anyone’s feelings against her, but I also don’t want people constantly invalidating my love for her. There’s no right or wrong way to feel. But I just love it. I love the CB Strike series. I love rereading them. I love the audiobooks too. I don’t love the TV series but I do enjoy it. CB Strike is tied with Harry Potter for me in some ways which constantly shocks me lol

[@justjuanreader]

I feel you! I know it can be controversial but I’ll always be true to what makes sense to me, honestly and transparently. I adore Jo Rowling for everything she’s done through her work and for me, and even though she has some writing flaws, I can’t help but love her storytelling. Just love her ❤️

Now I’m going to stalk your videos. You are so charming! Merry Christmas!

[@justjuanreader]

Thank you so much! Hope you enjoy. Merry Christmas! 🎄

I've read three books, planning to read the next two books in 2024. Your review makes me want to read the rest. Merry Christmas and happy holidays 🎉🎉🎉

I do find it interesting that the pseudonym she chose is the name of the man who invented conversion therapy.

[@constantlearner3213]

It is also the name of an economist mentioned on a BBC Sounds podcast.

[@dandeherrera4015]

You have to listen to the audiobook by narrated by Robert Glenister. Listening to him do the voices and narration, you don't want the book to end. It's that good.

[@tamimnoory2023]

This video was comforting and warm your such kind man and great review !

[@angelinaaylward5506]

Hi. I'm pleased you liked this book, so did I! I love Strike and Robin's relationship. I've literally just put it down, after 3 intense days (I also listened along on audio which is read by Robert Glenister which is around 34 hours long. However, what I was looking for was a breakdown of how it all came together in the end and why. Also a chat about who was who. In the serach bar I'd typed "Spoilers review" Ah well...

[@Paromita_M]

Merry Christmas and Happy holidays! Good to hear Robert Galbraith is back in form after a slightly disappointing previous volume. 😁

[@user-cw9ks3rm3y]

Hi Juan, great videos and I totally agree, I stopped reading her at Lethal White. My question: I've read the first three books, can I skip Books 5 & 6 and go straight to The Running Grave? I know I will miss some elements on new characters introduced and the relationship developing between Robin and Cormoron but I can back fill this in later.

[@justjuanreader]

Yes I think you could, you would maybe be a bit lost in terms of Robin’s new relationship but I think you could pick up on that with context clues

[@marty.m2933]

I recently finished IBH and since I couldn't wait for the translation, I bought TRG for the first time in English. I have to say two things: one, I definitely don't regret it, and two, I'm really gonna kill Rowling for that ending. Now how am I supposed to wait so long for the continuation? Almost worse than being locked in a box. Otherwise, again...one of the best works. I feel like every case gets better and better. The unsettling feeling one got from the cult when Robin was inside (very light spoiler): and especially how that same feeling lingered after her escape. Well, I felt the same nervousness and paranoia that she did. This is absolutely masterful storytelling.

[@hikepenido]

I've only read the first 4 books. Do you think it would be OK to dive straight into this one? Would I be too lost? I love a cult plot.

[@marty.m2933]

Well, the romantic plot would probably be better read in order, but otherwise...you can basically. It doesn't affect the case itself at all and there's nothing there that you won't understand because of the jump.

[@hikepenido]

Thanks!!! @@marty.m2933

[@GeorgieGon]

Do i have to read these books in order??

[@justjuanreader]

The romance storyline certainly follows a sequence… however, this book (7) is so damn good I would say you could read it as a stand-alone, as long as you’ve read the first book already, which establishes the premise of the series and the chatacter dynamics.

[@shreyaindia4024]

Hello, I am not particularly impressed with the ending.. though the book is a masterpiece as u said.
