Examining Books

A place to record the books I've read. With a short review on each. I strive to never tell too much of the story to ruin it for anyone. BUT, if it is a picture book, I often tell the endings. “Of course anyone who truly loves books buys more of them than he or she can hope to read in one fleeting lifetime. A good book, resting unopened in its slot on a shelf, full of majestic potentiality, is the most comforting sort of intellectual wallpaper.” ― David Quammen

Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling

I admit. I did not read much of this book. I was so excited because I was one of the first at my library to get the book and I was looking forward to a great book.

I read the first chapter and it wasn't too bad but there were questionable parts. I started the second chapter and can you say, "Sex." I thought I can't do it if this is what the rest of the book is like so I got on Amazon and checked out the reviews and sure enough it is FULL of Sex.

I would not recommend this book. It is not my style. I am disappointed. I really wanted her Adult book to be good. I suppose when they called it an Adult book I did have my trepidations and that is why I didn't purchase it and got it from the library first. I am so glad I don't own this book.

How I wish she would have cleaned things up! I am much to young for this book.
