   Is the casual vacancy a true story?

   • I can understand the responses because of the theme and some of the scenes are gritty with some unpleasantness, very real-life and honest. In The Casual Vacancy, J.K. Rowling has made a successful transition to the real-world. Especially when she gets into the minds of 16 years old boys is class.

   Is casual vacancy a good book?

   • This book is not an adventure tale nor is it a story with a beginning, middle and end. It is a window into the lives of a small town – the readers get a glimpse and then it is over. Readers looking for a tight resolution, a beautiful and satisfying end, and the triumph of good over evil should not attempt Casual Vacancy.

   How do you feel about the casual vacancy?

   • I lacked any emotional attachment or connection with the characters in The Casual Vacancy. The only emotions towards the characters in this book were repulsion and extreme distaste. The political structure of this book was portrayed in a manner that was unappealing and tedious. I felt like The Casual Vacancy unnecessarily dirty and vulgar.
