I JUST BOUGHT MY COPY I AM SO EXCITED TO READ IT!!
For anyone who doesn't know (where have you been living for the last 6 months) it's JK Rowling's new book - the first one she's written for adults. The plot looks really good! Went on sale this morning, got mine first thing!
Anyone else reading it? Want to read it?

The Casual Vacancy

The reviews look fairly good, apparently it's a *real* adult book, numerous uses of the C word, death, self-harm etc.
Unsure whether or not to buy it, I probably will when my student loan goes in...

flicking through i've seen quite a few of the W word. It's something different to HP, but still got a great writing style!

I've bought it today. Out of all the genres she could've done, she chose one I like, hooray. I've seen a few quotes here and there though. I don't mind vulgarity but it has to have a context otherwise it's just crude. There have been a few vulgar lines quoted in articles about the book where I've thought 'Really?' and I did happen to come across one of them while reading and it's in the context of a teenage boy who don't often romanticise sex so I can go with that. If it's like that, I don't mind as long as it's not just some attempt to appear more "adult"

I have bought it. Read a few chapters and honestly I find this better than harry potter. wasn't a fan of it anyway. People criticise because they think nothing matches harry potter. So just forget that rowling wrote harry potter and read this book. It won't be 'boring' or 'dull' as said by people.
anyway
