Truthfully, I don't expect it to be as good as HP; nor do I wish to compare it to her huge success. I just expect it to be different, which it obviously is as it's a totally different genre intended for a very different reader. She's got a lot guts, that's for sure.
Agreed! It's got to be hard to come out with something totally different after having so much success - especially when you know everyone's watching you (and reading your book).
I've heard a lot about this book. I love that she didn't follow the easy route, but took the risk for something so different! And I think people will be much more realistic with her new work. It drove me nuts that she warned everyone this would NOT be anything like HP, then people complained it was nothing like HP *sigh*
Hmm, I am curious now.
ReplyDeleteThe Casual Vacancy perchance?
ReplyDeleteYou guessed it! It was due to arrive on Tues. but surprised me yesterday.
DeleteYour new book? So excited for you :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Livia. I'm looking forward to reading it.
DeleteOoh! I hope it was just as good as the Harry Potter series. I'm stunned they released it early, considering all the hype.
