Just finished The Casual Vacancy by J K Rowling and I quite enjoyed it. I liked the different characters and the constant change from one to the next enhanced the story for me.
I've also just finished a short story by Victoria Hislop, The Kafenion. I read The Island a few years ago and didn't like her writing style, far too simplistic, almost as if she's telling a story to pre-schoolers. I thought I'd give her another chance as most of her tales are set in Greece which is where I'm currently exploring. However, this was as bad as the first IMO. I won't be rushing to read any more of her stuff.
Just about to start Escape from Camp 14: One Man's Remarkable Odyssey from North Korea to Freedom in the West*by Blaine Harden.
