Thank you for your comment. If you ever give the book a shot, I hope you enjoy it! Oh I know, I’ve seen her tweets, they are quite the entertainment!

I too am a bit of a closet reader myself. I have heard many mixed reviews about this book but would give it a shot if I had the time. New Baby= No time. Great review. If you don’t already, I suggest you follow JK Rowling on Twitter. For someone know for writnig books read by kids and teens she is quite the pugnacious type. It’s great!

Thank you for this review! Each time I go book shopping I find myself debating whether or not to give The Casual Vacancy a go (the back flap just does not seem to appeal to me :/), and each time I walk away without picking it up…
Reading your review now makes me definitely want to add the novel to my reading list.
Side Note: I totally relate with your into paragraph 🙂 I love that feeling of inspiration that comes with being acknowledged for my reading obsession 🙂
Happy reading!

Thank you for the comment! I think this book is something people either like, or dislike; I think a lot of that has to do with it being so different from her writing style in Harry Potter, and because of that Rowling is trying to find this voice that isn’t completely there yet. I do hope you enjoy it if you decide to read it! 🙂

I still haven’t tried to read this one yet because of all of the mixed reviews early on. I do want to give it a try some day though. Thanks for the honest review 🙂

Harry Potter is such an epic series for me, I don’t think J.K. Rowling can ever be anything else. Maybe one day that’ll change and I’ll be able to pick up this book as well but at the moment I’m not ready for it I guess.

Thanks Beth! It was hard to get into at first, but it did get better. I can understand that; keeping her as the creator of HP.

Great review for this book Meghan. I haven’t read this one and probably won’t because it doesn’t really sound like my kind of book, for me J.K. Rowling is always going to be the author of Harry Potter and that’s it, but I’m glad you enjoyed it. It sounds like it may have been hard to get into but that it was well worth it by the end, so I guess it’s good you stuck with it until then! 🙂
