Have you read "The Cuckoo’s Calling"?

Have you? If so, what did you think?

Not yet, and thanks for inform me of another JK Rowling’s book

No and I probably won’t. It’s not the sort of book I generally read.

It’s very rare since the secret got out. They disappeared from book stores overnight.

I hadn’t heard of the book before it came out that JK wrote it, but now I’m definitely gonna get it on my Kindle and read it. I adore her.

@YARNLADY i wonder why that is. Seems like a great marketing boost.

@Supacase As I understand it, JKR is very unhappy about the secret being revealed. This was not a marketing ploy, but someone who knew telling the wrong person.
@chyna I have not read it yet. It received warm reviews before her involvement was known.
@YARNLADY is correct. You can’t find it in the stores right now, but this may cause a surge in kindle downloads.
@Mariah I adore her as well, but I am having trouble getting through “The Casual Vacancy”.

Pretty amusing story here . It refers to the difficulty of getting a story published.

I like mysteries, and since it’s been well received on its own merits I’ll probably give it a try when the hype has died down. There’s no rush. I’ll wait for a library copy.

I gave up on The Casual Vacancy about 100 pages in. There wasn’t a single character I liked, and books that run to excess in the matter of gritty, revolting detail don’t give me what I’m looking for when I read. I have no interest in sticking my head inside a befouled garbage can in the back alley of an urban ghetto, even if I can’t help knowing it’s there.

Postscript: I just added it to my library request list. I’m number 169 in line for it. The last time I drew a high number, it was in the thirties.
