And so my Booker Prize Longlist Challenge of 2013 continues into 2014. Thanks to a random Kindle price slashing day, all but one of the longlist dropped to 99p, and I’d be a fool not to take advantage. So brace yourselves for an onslaught of Really Worthy Books, people! First up is the apparently now retired Jim Crace. If you love historical novels, dive in. If you’re ambivalent, you’ll remain so after reading this I reckon. Full review is on my blog here.
Once upon a looking for Donna time….
Oh DONNA! First you blew my mind, then you broke my heart. And now, with only your third novel in 21 years, you have managed to do both. An intriguing plot and a promising start give way to bloated navel gazing for nigh on 800 pages. Full review is on my blog here.
Popcultureboy’s 1st #CBR6 Review: You Are One Of Them by Elliott Holt
Kicking off CBR6 with a highly engrossing story of two childhood friends, where one becomes an internationally known symbol for peace at the height of the Cold War tensions before tragically dying in a plane crash. Or does she? The book follows her best friend as she tries to find out the truth about what really happened. If you loved The Americans, you’ll love this. Full review is on my blog here.
