"Fifty Shades of Grey" has created a lot of buzz around the world.

Bestselling author E.L. James has fans of all ages, especially women, talking about sex and BDSM in a casual way that hasn't happened before. Some authors have their say on it.

"Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling recently released her book "Casual Vacancy" on Sept. 27. "Fifty Shades of Grey" surpassed the "Harry Potter" series as the fastest seller of all-time.

"I haven't [read 50 Shades of Grey], have you?" Rowling told an interviewer from The Guardian, according to MovieLine, adding, "Well, if I'm truthful, it's because I promised by editor I wouldn't."

She quickly added that she was joking, but her editor did say, "Well, don't read it," she said. Asked further if she thought she was "missing out" on something, Rowling said, "Not wildly, no," but added, "It could be amazing, but no I haven't read it."

She might not want to read the naughtiest book of all time right now, but Rowling's latest book is more adult-themed and risky than "Harry Potter." Could it have been influenced by the success of "Fifty Shades?"

"The Casual Vacancy," published by Little, Brown and Company, is described:

When Barry Fairweather dies unexpectedly in his early forties, the little town of Pagford is left in shock.

Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war.

Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils...Pagford is not what it first seems.

And the empty seat left by Barry on the town's council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected revelations?

Blackly comic, thought-provoking and constantly surprising, The Casual Vacancy is J.K. Rowling's first novel for adults.

According to MovieLine, the 512-page book takes on prostitution, drug use and class.

"The worst that can happen is that everyone says, 'That's shockingly bad,'" Rowling said about the novel.

"The Casual Vacancy" has gotten some good reviews:

"This is definitely not a book for children: suicide, rape, heroin addiction, beatings and thoughts of patricide percolate through its pages; there is a sex scene set in a cemetery, a grotesque description of a used condom ('glistening in the grass beside her feet, like the gossamer cocoon of some huge grub') and alarming scenes of violent domestic abuse." - Michiko Kakutani, New York Times

"Rowling is clearly a skilled writer. This book is more depressing than her previous work because it is set in a world without magic, where cruelty is less apocalyptic and more believably petty. Though some sequences feel a few drafts short of being ready, others are written with a fluency and beauty that suggest that there could be more and better works to come from her pen." - Andrew Losowsky, Huffington Post

"'The Casual Vacancy' is no masterpiece, but it's not bad at all: intelligent, workmanlike, and often funny. I could imagine it doing well without any association to the Rowling brand, perhaps creeping into the Richard and Judy Book Club, or being made into a three-part TV serial. The fanbase may find it a bit sour, as it lacks the Harry Potter books' warmth and charm; all the characters are fairly horrible or suicidally miserable or dead. But the worst you could say about it, really, is that it doesn't deserve the media frenzy surrounding it. And who nowadays thinks that merit and publicity have anything do with each other?" - Theo Tait, The Guardian
