That said, I wouldn't want to read that book over again, or read many more like it!Erin Latimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06966784285634663955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468643916756368998.post-86684373342717823992012-10-23T21:43:46.015-07:002012-10-23T21:43:46.015-07:00Though well written and completely deserving of a ... Though well written and completely deserving of a film version; I found The Casual Vacancy to be void of all joy and full of raw depravity. We read to escape reality. This book, unfortunately, throws you into all of the tragedies of the real world with no end to the pain. I've seen every deplorable thing in this book in "real life" and only wish for a few of the small successes that the real world also holds. Not a happy ending, just a realistic view of ALL aspects of life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468643916756368998.post-29150758320778723062012-10-13T14:30:02.118-07:002012-10-13T14:30:02.118-07:00Very true!
