Will you be reading JK Rowling's new book?

Question

Will you be reading JK Rowling's new book? It's called 'The Casual Vacancy' and it's about "drug addiction and child abuse" (quoted from the news).

I'm not sure if I should read it. I'm only 17. Maybe when I'm a bit older, I'll read it. For now, I'm not ready to destroy my innocence.

Answer 1

Yeah buddy!



If the plot is anywhere near as complex as what she did in HP, I'm sure it'll be awesome. I read an interview with JKR about it, and I think the news might be exaggerating slightly when they say it's about "child abuse and drug addiction." That might be an aspect, but I didn't get the impression she was going Ellen Hopkins on us.

Answer 2

I don't know yet to be honest. The official genre is fiction/tragycomedy, but it doesn't sound like something I would enjoy reading. I obviously love and respect her as an author, but I think we can all agree that Harry Potter was her magnum opus.



And it's not about drug addiction and child abuse, don't listen to everything you hear in the news.

Answer 3

oh hell yeah i'm going to envision them, interior the tip she's a author it quite is what she does, only because of fact she is producing artwork different than harry potter does not mean no one will have an interest, i kinda experience sorry for her. shes reported that she could use a pen call while she writes a thoroughly new e book fearing that she is going to be in comparison to Harry potter, interior the tip she is going to maintain writing issues different than HP even nonetheless i think of i could desire to envision extra HP books perpetually lol oo i pre ordered the particular version harry potter e book wooop xx

Answer 4

I'm not planning on reading it, mainly because it's not fantasy (as far as I can tell), and I probably won't like it that much...

Answer 5

Definitly, she's one of my favorite authors.
