Very interesting 50

With 'The Casual Vacancy', JK Rowling takes us far away from Harry Potter, both in the story in tone. It all starts with the sudden death of Mayor / First Citizen of a small town, died at which the inhabitants react differently. The book follows the lives of many of these people and explores the impact of this death in their daily until tragedy.

What strikes immediately in the novel is the cynical auteur.Tous writing of the characters are presented in what they have small, petty, weak, hypocritical or even nasty. Human nature is described in concession with accuracy and realism that return us to ourselves. The study of the characters is very successful. Equally successful, the story of the life of a small British town in our time.

Of course, history may seem a little flat, but the author's project is obviously to give in the authentic and not sensationalism. Nevertheless, the narrative is perfectly controlled and, no less, JK Rowling novel place elements on its board and as we inevitably come to the tragic end. The mechanics are impeccable.

In the end, so I found a very interesting novel - not exciting, it is true, as suffering from a certain slowness and lengths. We must not seek action and humor, but désabuée study our society and human nature. The end is poignant.
