One of the things that I love to do is read. I love how my mind is able to escape into a small fictional world and I am able to be stress-free. Maybe you like to read? Maybe you don't. If you do like to read, check out Goodreads. It's a free website to rate books and to find possible new stories and/or authors to check out. My latest review from Goodreads is below.
The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
My thoughts on this book were that; the story was interesting enough to keep reading to find out what happens, but there were definite parts that I could have done without specific details.
I did like how we saw many different characters and their individual stories. I liked how it all tied together. There were characters that I felt connected to. I liked some and I disliked some. I do like that this book felt real and dealt with situations that really do happen.
I didn't care for the specifics on certain situations; the rape for instance. My personal opinion is that I don't really like to read about it. It makes me feel uncomfortable. I think there was a lot of political bullshit that went on, which isn't my thing. It is what is happening in real life, but it was a little too much for me. I found myself skimming through certain pages because I was bored.
I don't feel that anyone under the age of 17 should read this book. There are too many adult-type situations, which I'm sure that teenagers now-a-days know about but don't need to read about.
