1.		The Gathering (Man Booker Prize) from Grove Press, Black Cat Price: $11.20 Customer Review: Skimming through the reviews that have preceded mine I find myself amused by the passion this book has generated. It seems safe to warn any prospective reader that one thing is certain: you will either love or you will hate this novel. The passionate negativity The Gathering has generated is... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao from Riverhead Trade Price: $7.95 Customer Review: Well, I finally got around to reading it on my flight home and here are my thoughts: There is absolutely no contest that a nerdy Dominican boy makes for an original subject. Yes, I was slightly handicapped by my rough Spanish and limited knowledge of Sci-Fi culture, but I still believe Oscar's story... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Bridge of Sighs: A Novel (Vintage Contemporaries) from Vintage Price: $10.17 Customer Review: As a Richard Russo fan (I've read everything he's written), I was dumbfounded by this book at times. Unlike Empire Falls, the Bridge of Sighs takes long, rambling detours through story and emotion. I found myself at times saying, "Okay, already. Get on with it." I also found myself absolutely... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Unaccustomed Earth from Knopf Price: $16.50 Customer Review: Jhumpa Lahiri is a writer's writer. These stories are very romantic about missed loves. She uses stream of consciousness, changes of point of view, description, storytelling, and other writing techniques very well. I am amazed at her style. She writes what she knows. She is a Bengali... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Waiting: A Novel from Vintage Price: $10.17 Customer Review: A man convinces himself that he is unhappy with his marriage, waits forever for the Chinese bureaucracy to grant him a divorce so he can marry the woman he is infatuated with. Without giving up plot specifics, let me say this novel is a fable that underscores George Bernard Shaw's famous quote:... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Tree of Smoke: A Novel from Picador Price: $10.88 Customer Review: I can't resist novels about Vietnam. And this 1997 book had absolutely rave reviews. It even won the National Book Award. Reviewers called it a masterpiece. I just HAD to read it. Now, 702 pages later, I'm sorry I did. This book was just plain awful. And the only satisfaction I got out of slogging... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Out Stealing Horses: A Novel from Picador Price: $11.20 Customer Review: There are many lessons in this book. For instance, whether it is intentional or not, Per Petterson has captured the rhythm, synergy, and energy that results from true teamwork. "We started in the morning just after seven and kept on until evening when we fell into bed and slept like the dead... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		The Bad Girl: A Novel from Picador Price: $11.20 Customer Review: This novel paints a panoramic history of four decades of South American and European life as the story traces Ricardo's love for "the bad girl." The characters are not particularly complex, and I never really believed the love story, but I really enjoyed the romp through the world.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		People of the Book: A Novel from Viking Adult Price: $16.29 Customer Review: It was difficult to decide what was more disappointing: the poor narrative or the incredibly poor knowledge of the history in general, and of the region Ms. Brooks writes about in her "People of the Book". Since a lot has been said about the former in other reviews, I will comment on the latter.more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Then We Came to the End: A Novel from Back Bay Books Price: $11.19 Customer Review: For a first novel, this is impressive. Much credit to Joshua Ferris for creating very compelling characters, and drawing the reader into their world. I found myself very absorbed in certain storylines and relatively ambivalent about others, but my sneaking suspicion is that this is exactly how... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
