Congratulations to all. Lots of great reading if you've missed some of these!
An eclectic list. I need to vote because if the reaper wins anything I'll be sick.Same with the Larsson. No way is it the novel of anything.
ReplyDeleteI have read 5 of 6 of the Decade books. That's a tough one. I didn't care for the Zafon, but really liked the Penny, Larsson, Lehane and Connelly. I think I'd go for the Penny...
ReplyDeleteI've read all the Decade books. That's a tough one. I think the Lincoln Lawyer was the most enjoyable read, but not as emotionally wrought as the other selections. That's a tough one. I guess Mystic River by a narrow margin. As for this year, I have admittedly not read Locked In or The Hidden Man. John Harts' Last Child will probably be a book of the decade nominee for this decade, so I'll go with that. It was mindblowingly great.
