Part of me really wants to read the book because its JK Rowling and I am totally in love with the Harry Potter series but another part of me is apprehensive. The plot descriptions I read online say
“When Barry Fairbrother 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?”
To me, that sounds like a really gossipy and kinda lame book. I don’t know, maybe I’ll get around to reading it but I’m probably going to wait until I have less on my “to read” list and if I have some friend read it and tell me they really enjoyed it. Otherwise its kinda just like meh….
