When Barry Fairweather dies unexpectedly in his early forties, the little town of Pagford is left in shock. Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war. Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils…. Pagford is not what it first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the town’s council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected revelations? Blackly comic, thought-provoking and constantly surprising, The Casual Vacancy is J.K. Rowling’s first novel for adults.
##心理細節是看點,羅琳寫得很趁手,如拍電影,多人物多畫麵同時切入,可能不錯。不過鋪陳太多瞭,後三部分快馬加鞭,又過於濃稠。沒有預料到Krystal的命運,這個選題,走嚮也過於沉重。

評分##so so
評分##前麵情節推進得太慢,可是最後幾章還是相當精彩的~!羅琳阿姨轉型很成功嘛,不得不說到結尾部分的時候比HP係列還要更吸引我
評分##感覺羅琳這真是過足瞭講故事寫人物的癮啊,雖然故事本身真沒什麼,但是細節還是寫得特彆棒。繼續腦殘粉。
評分##trying too hard that her words almost read draining. one step further and it would be a disgraceful showing-off.[0601 這本書應該齣個刪減版。
