Goodreads Rating: 3

When Barry Fairbrother dies in his early forties, the town of Pagford is left in shock Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war.Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils ... Pagford is not what it first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the parish council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected revelations? Goodreads
I love JK’s Harry Potter series and knew going into The Casual Vacancy that it’s very different. I wanted to love it but just couldn’t pick it up all the time to finish it. So the three star rating is based on what I’ve read. It’s a shame because I wanted to finish it. 



Of the bits that I did read I enjoyed but not enough to carry on with the book.
