#10: A Casual Vacancy

I finally finished A Casual Vacancy by JK Rowling.  This is the story of a council man dying during his term and all the behind the scene stories of the other council men/women and those looking to fill his spot.

There was so much sadness and evil in the lives of the characters.  I wanted to feel sorry for some of them, but at the same time I hated most of them.  There was so much lack of communication with some of the families and violence and ignorance with the others.

I do admit that this book was really slow moving for me.  I found it interesting, but not in an "I can't put it down" kind of way.  There were just so many things going wrong or making me mad in the book.

I decided I really needed to finish it and stayed up until past midnight last night doing so.  The final part of the book was really the best for me.  So sad and heartbreaking, but it finally made the characters see everything that was infront of them.  I think Rowling did a great job at pulling this book together at the end.
