The Casual Vacancy
I just finished The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. Whenever an author is primarily known for one work you always worry about a sophomore slump.
Thankfully, that was not the case. The characters in The Casual Vacancy are very deep and act in a very believable manner.
The plot is driven by the actions of the characters who usually make decisions on bad or incomplete information. Just like in real life mistakes are made more often than not, especially when people become emotionally involved in the situation.
A must read if you enjoy straight up fiction or if you enjoyed the Potter books and are 16+
