Vernon God Little
Now here is a deserved winner of the Booker!
I found the first twenty pages a tad heavy but then it just takes off. Couldn't put it down. Laugh, cry, wonder. It's a gem!
Meh, I enjoyed it. But it felt very light to me. It was a ripping good yarn but that's about it. I have read the unbearable lightness of being and love in the time of cholera since Vernon God Little so I suppose it was bound to seem a little easy in comparison.
Good fun though. Not deserved of a booker but then, hardly any booker's are.

Just started reading. First few pages, going slow but think I will sit and finish it up.
Tony, your last three words *It's a gem!* tells me to finish it up quickly.

Gouri - you won't be able to stop once you get going!
