More Hype.

Will you be buying The Casual Vacancy?

The plot doesn't grab me either. Though I will probably end up picking it up in a charity shop 6 months after the release of the book.

I think I might wait for my mum to buy it and 'borrow' her copy.

The plot really gives nothing, it might even look bad, but I believe the author carries enough fame to beat that.

I have a feeling that it will sell because of the author.

Not saying the book won't be good, it might even be brilliant, but since we haven't heard about it I guess they expect the author's fame to carry it.

I personally haven't heard about it until now, but I will wait until some reviews come out before buying it.
