First of everything, I wish my three star review wouldn't give an impression that (I thought) the book is mediocre or something like that. No. The book is a fantastic portrayal of a small town, true to itself, mostly realistic, and submitting complex - just like real life. At some chapters Ms Rowling had outdone herself, simplicity being her ally to give us glimpses of largely rueful lives. This is a fantastic book, and I hugged it to my heart, and felt the vacancy in my heart when it was done - the feeling of leaving Pagford has knotted my stomach. Just like Gaya, who understands the beauty of Pagford in its simplicity and country style, I too found it: within its all gloomy, gritty, and grumpy citizens, the town of Pagford got a profound loveliness one cannot escape to love. May be it is the freedom it unknowingly offeres to everyone to feel to the fullest. Anyway, I would suggest the read to anyone who likes to simply get lost in a town, not looking for anything in specific.

It was ok, Was trying first non Potter book from Rowling so might have some prejudice.

Awesome!! Great narration to top it all!!
