Why is this book interesting out of a sudden? There are thousands of books each year that sell less than 1'500 copies.

I want to get the book now simply because I hadn't heard of it before. It is the type of book I'd be interested in: a mystery that sounds intriguing that garnered good reviews. Granted, now I know Rowling's the author it increases the chances I'll actually pick it up.
I for one thought Casual Vacancy was magnificent. I would encourage anyone put off by the negative reviews to give it a chance if you like character-driven literary fiction. It's really well done. I almost didn't read it because of the reviews. Definitely glad I did.
Rowling is an awesome writer. I will keep dreaming of another series set at Hogwarts. Perhaps a girl protagonist this time? With Harry as Headmaster? One can always hope...
