But that means Valin must get his raging thoughts and emotions under control. Is he up to this challenge?From a review by E.L.: "I thought the book was really good, and it reminded me a lot of star wars. ... I thought the creatures that you invented were really cool. I also thought the names were good. How did you name them, and where did you get the idea's? I thought it was really interesting, and it made me want to keep reading until I was done (I actually read it when I was supposed to be watching [my brother's] soccer game. Don't tell him!!!)... I am 13, I don't know what your targeted audience is, but I thought it was not too confusing. I thought it could have been even more intertwined and more confusing, because I personally like books super confusing."BEWARE: REAL SCIENCE! From his background in engineering, the author bases many details in the story on real scientific principles, or on futuristic but credible science. Far from slowing the story down, this gives the action a sharp, realistic edge. It almost feels like you're there!

A brilliant mystery in a classic vein: Detective Cormoran Strike investigates a supermodel's suicide. After losing his leg to a land mine in Afghanistan, Cormoran Strike is barely scraping by as a private investigator. Strike is down to one client, and creditors are calling. He has also just broken up with his longtime girlfriend and is now living in his office. Then John Bristow walks through his door with an amazing story: his sister, the legendary supermodel Lula Landry, known to her friends as the Cuckoo, famously fell to her death a few months earlier. The police ruled it a suicide, but John refuses to believe that. The case plunges Strike into the world of multimillionaire beauties, rock-star boyfriends, and desperate designers, and it introduces him to every variety of pleasure, enticement, seduction, and delusion known to man. You may think you know detectives, but you've never met one quite like Strike. You may think you know about the wealthy and famous, but you've never seen them under an investigation like this.
