JK Rowlings, The Casual Vacancy, får glowing reviews

JK Rowlings första bok efter Harry Potter släpptes åt världen den 27 september. En bok som innehåller droger, sex och svordomar- något helt annat än det vi är så vana vid att förknippa med JK Rowlings skrivstil. The Guardian sammanfattar The Casual Vacancy med orden:

"Expertly plotted, rich in characterisation and clichéd in style."

The Casual Vacancy has already received glowing reviews from the press, and here are some of the most commendable from today:

‘A needle-sharp and darkly comic expose of today’s class-ridden society… A highly readable morality tale for our times’ Emma Lee-Potter, Daily Express

 

‘The Casual Vacancy is a stunning, brilliant, outrageously gripping and entertaining evocation of British society today. [J.K. Rowling] has done a rather brave thing and pulled it off magnificently’ Henry Sutton, The Mirror

 

‘One marvels at the skill with which Rowling weaves such vivid characters in and out of each other’s lives’ Christopher Brookmyre, The Daily Telegraph

 

‘Heartbreaking – turning the page seems unbearable, but not as much as putting down the book would be.” Deepti Hajela, Associated Press

‘An exquisite and occasionally moving black comedy… The acid test – I suspect it would do well even if its author’s name weren’t J.K. Rowling’ David Robinson, Scotsman
