Last week I started reading The Casual Vacancy by J K Rowling. I've been curious to see how she would do writing outside of the Harry Potter world, and I have to say, so far it's not bad! This week my tease is from the opening paragraph of the novel.
The Tease:
"Barry Fairbrother did not want to go out to dinner. He had endured a thumping headache for most of the weekend and was struggling to make a deadline for the local paper. However, his wife had been a little stiff and uncommunicative over lunch, and Barry deduced that his anniversary card had not mitigated the crime of shutting himself away in the study all morning. It did not help that he had been writing about Krystal, whom Mary disliked, although she pretended otherwise."
-The Casual Vacancy, by J K Rowling
What's your Tease?
Sounds like this guy is in the dog house.

The opening isn't exactly riveting, is it? I've heard both good and bad things about this book, and I'll probably read it.
ReplyDeleteMy Teaser is from REMEMBER ME?
Interesting teaser!
ReplyDeleteI have The Casual Vacancy on hold at my library--I'm looking forward to reading J.K. Rowling's newest work outside of the Potter world.
I'm finding it interesting so far - The characters are quite entertaining.
DeleteI am hearing more negatives about this book. Hope it is good, though.

Interesting teaser and I too am anxious to see How JK does with her new novel!

Definitely sounds like his anniversary isn't going that well! I really want to read this book because I wonder how JK did! Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a great week!

Well I read it, as much as I could stand, and I can tell you it was not the best anniversary! Thanks for popping in.
ReplyDeleteI was disappointed in the storyline of The Casual Vacancy, but not in J K's writing ability. I will read another of hers for sure.
