www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-23304181I think Ms Rowling and Mr Galbraith should meet Mr Handler and Mr Snicket. They might have much to discuss. (She did say, a while ago, that she was planning to write books for younger children. I wonder what happened to that. DH is certainly ahead of her there, having published in every possible age-range.)

My mom briefly mentioned to me about this article she read in the newspaper about J.K Rowling. This must be what that article was about.

This is like Stephen King/Richard Bachman all over again, although Rowling's new book really is amazing (far better than The Casual Vacancy).

I can well believe that (though I haven't actually read TCV yet). The Harry Potter books include a strong mystery element, so she has a natural aptitude for that, while TCV seems to have been written out of political conviction more than anything else.

Good heavens! I have just discovered that I know one of the people who did the analysis! I had assumed it was someone else of the same name, but apparently not.

This is like Stephen King/Richard Bachman all over again, although Rowling's new book really is amazing (far better than The Casual Vacancy). Having now read them both I have to agree. I don't think TCV is a bad book - it's nicely constructed - but there's nothing outstanding about it; while The Cuckoo's Calling is really exciting. |

The sequel to The Cuckoo's Calling just came out last month, has anyone read it yet? As always, it is extremely hard to snag a copy of her new books whether it be at the library or in the bookstore, so I ordered it online but it's taking a while. I should hope it's as good as the first!

yep i finished the sequel last week. i really liked it but some of the things in it were so weird, it was hard to imagine that it was written by the same person who wrote Harry Potter. i liked the mystery though and the end was super suspenseful, i couldn't stop reading.
