Like many other readers, I was delighted to hear awhile back that JK Rowling had an adult novel for usadult like it was written for adults, not that it was going to be some erotic romance or anything like that. I preordered a copy the day it became available, and lamented the fact that I couldnt pick it up as soon as it arrived, since I was traveling overseas at the time. Meanwhile, as reviews started popping up around the internet, I was disappointed to read that people seem to have quite mixed opinions about this novel.
After reading the entire thing, I can see why people have these mixed feelings. This novel is nothing like Harry Potter in the story elements, the chief among them being that this is set in the actual world without any magic, no true heroes or villains, and no one overwhelmingly charming or likeable. In fact, I would go so far as to say that the only character in this novel who isnt mildly repulsive in some way is our deceased gentleman, Barry.
