具體描述
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.

讀後感
我想，成名作家最大的烦恼莫过于如何延续或是突破自我的创作生涯，他或她们不喜欢也不希望当自己的新作品呈现给读者时，所得到的反馈是令人失望的自我重复，渐而陷入江郎才尽的一潭死水，这对于任何一位作者而言都是不得不面对的挑战。显而易见，新作品担负的重任不仅要表现出...
評分“哈母”罗琳的勇气 五年前，享誉全球的“哈利•波特系列”华丽收官，“哈利·波特之母”罗琳放下手中的魔法棒，毅然接过自狄更斯以来的现实主义文学传统的接力棒，以追求自由之心创作了一部振聋发聩...
評分昨天中午，一个星期的阅读历程终于结束的时候，耳机里传来蕾哈娜的‘umbrella’，醇厚的女声有力的打着节拍，“When the sun shines, we’ll shine together.Told you I'll be here forever,Said I'll always be a friend,Took an oath I''ll stick it out till the end.”看着...
評分六月底的时候，师傅神秘兮兮地跑到我桌边，揪着耳朵问我愿不愿意去英国待两个月。听上去很诱人呢。虽然要抛夫弃女、背井离乡，可毕竟能亲眼见识一下大名鼎鼎的“日不落帝国”，也是一件令人心向往之的幸事。事实上，我也是用这同样的诱饵把研究生时的好友老丁骗入伙的。后来...

用戶評價
真心麼啥意思的一書
评分和絕望主婦有些像
评分心理細節是看點，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。
评分整個調子很灰暗，死亡開始死亡終結，那種壓抑感頗象讀鳳凰社。第一場死亡攪動瞭一個小鎮的沉渣，讓每個人物的人性負麵充分現形，最後的死亡倒似乎帶來點救贖的機會。雖有點散亂，但群像畫得還不錯，每個人都挺鮮明。讀這本比讀哈裏波特更讓人感覺到她的文筆，可能是因為後者故事性壓倒瞭彆的。
评分開頭好生似曾相識。最後三分之一漸入佳境瞭，可前麵三分之二差點整死我。很多好細節，可前麵幾乎隻有細節，瑣碎細密沉重，就像jiak當年說屎撈人的時候：「太灰色瞭」。
