J K Rowlings "The Casual Vacancy"

Linders Back · ‎03-10-2010

FYI: For those of you who read the book (and those who didn't), the BBC and HBO have made a 3 part Mini Series which just aired in Britain and will air in the States April 29th. Here's the first look trailer:

JK Rowlings was very pleased with the outcome when she saw it and said she cried at the end. I remember it had lots of memorable characters. Looks good.

Oh, I'm interested in seeing that.

I'm embarrassed to say this is one book (of a few) I have on my Kindle that I have not read! The preview looks good and I'll probably watch.

Thanks for posting about this, Linders Back. I never read the book, but I would like to check this out. And, it has Julia McKenzie in it, Miss Marple from the series on PBS! I love her in that role.

I never read the book either but it sounds like a perfect story for a miniseries. I'm looking forward to it.

It's on HBO?

I don't get that channel. Hopefully It'll come to PBS or Netflix soon.

Thanks for this, Linders! I had no idea it's coming up so soon and I'm psyched I read JK was very involved with the production, as she was with the Harry Potter movies, theme park and Potterville.

Now if the next Cormoran Strike novel would just come out. I loved the first two. BBC is already making a series of it, and she's said there will be at least seven -- so ready for number three!
