So far, I'm a bit disappointed. I haven't read much, though, so I'm hoping my assessment is off-base.

Well, I'd like to report back with my thoughts, but I simply never got into it enough to finish it. I very rarely start a book and not finish it - I feel like a quitter when I do that. But The Casual Vacancy just didn't do anything for me. When I had spare time, I wasn't inclined to read it. When I tried to read it, my mind wandered and I'd find myself reading the same sentence over and over. It just couldn't hold my attention when I was reading it, so I gave up.

So, now, I'm reading The Circle by Dave Eggers. I'm loving this one! I picked it up yesterday and am a third of the way through. It's tough to put down.
