Still reading, but have to be honest I'm enjoying way more than I thought I would. Reading this on the heels of A Casual Vacancy ( which was a major disappointment), I was not expecting to like it.
Still muddling through this one...is anyone else reading it and enjoying it?? Or not enjoying it.. reasons..
There are so many holds on this at my library, I'll be lucky to get it before 2014.
Fortuantely I was able to get it as i was the first to request it from my small local library before it was purchased by them. my "review" follows: if you like detective novels, a good read. Nice character development. Bogs down a little in the middle much like a couple of her longer HP books did, but then picks up again. You are left guessing to the end "who done it."I enjoyed it more than casual vacancy, perhaps just because it was a different style. Comparing Harry Potter with Casual Vacancy with Cuckoo's calling you can see Rowling displaying her versatility.
If there is a sequel I will likely read it whereas a sequel to casual vacancy i would not.

I was not overly impressed, while I found it to be far better than Casual Vacancy, I didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped. I agree it really lagged in the middle ..terribly so. I had the killer pegged before the end..I'm not sure if I will read a sequel..It could be that J.K.Rowling just isn't for me, as I didn't enjoy HP either ,( I know.. my kids look at me like I have horns coming out of head..)
