Latest from JKR: Casual Vacancy - Page 2

^^ same here. Wanna read it too. But it can never match the popularity of harry potter books and already now its mired in controversy! Also people start to rate the book in comparison to harry potter and this diminishes the value. HP is an extraordinary creation! JKR will need a dash of felix felicis to get CV to mint gold!

How does Hermione come into this? 😕 I have a couple of friends who after reading 'The Casual Vacancy' are disappointed...I don't know why they're comparing it to HP...they're two completely different genres. Read this book for just what it is.0„2 Anyhoo, have never cared for reviews when it comes to anything - books or movies...so will read this one in my own time and since it's by Jo..will surely find some reason/s to like it. But yes will NOT compare it to HP though it seems all my friends are hell bent on doing that... 😆

agree with you. This always happens. Eg.. Kishore Kumar's son was a good singer too but he had a failed career as people kept comparing him with his father who was extraordinary. His son had a melodious voice too..listen to bade achhe lagte hain from movie Balika Badhu and one will know he had an excellent voice.
guess this is what is happening with JKR too. But anyway if u get to read the book pls do offer your comments :)

i so badly wanted to read this! but after the reviews i am not so sure! :(
