"Sharp Teeth" is worth checking out: a novel written in free verse! I only read the beginning so far, and it's truly well done. A quick google search shows up that you can read the beginning as well, if you're curious: http://tinyurl.com/2tl4rs cheers, Tom | ||

So many people have said that they love The Terror. A relative of mine has read it and is still raving over it. | ||

Congrats, Barbara and Chris. Interesting to see David Peace there on the list. He is the best UK crime writer working now, I think. Even though he lives in Japan. | ||
