   If anyone is out there, have you read Rowling's new book? I started it at 8:00   
   last night and finished it at 3:45 this morning.  When I finished, I closed   
   the book and thought"well, that was different".  It is the most unusual book I   
   have ever read. The    
   book is character dirven in that the choices the characters make move the plot   
   along.  It is dark, gritty, sometimes funny, and real.    
      
   One reviwer wrote that Paigeford could be the small English Village where she   
   lives. I am origionally from a small farming/resort town in America's Mid West   
   and If our Village Board was faced with the same circumstances as the Village   
   of Paigeford, they    
   would act the same way.     
      
   It is not Harry Potter and is NOT FOR CHILDREN, but I think it is very good.   
   Rowling gives us a ride up a mountian and then gently rolls us down. What do   
   you think?
