Although the book is very well-written, I cannot say that I loved it. It is a snapshot of small town life, with everyone in it a member of a severely dysfunctional family. The book did not feel as though it had much of a point until the tragedy and triumph at the end of the book. I thought it was OK, but nowhere near as satisfying as Rowling's other works.
