Booker-prize

I read this book on holiday in Belgium last year. Having forgotten to pack a novel I scoured almost every book in the Waterstones at St. Pancras station before settling on this Booker prize winning novel by George Saunders.

As much as I wanted it to, Satin Island by Tom McCarthy did not win the Booker Prize. Having read it all I realise it was a long shot. However it is an interesting book that deserved consideration, even if it does have some flaws.

"Satin Island" is my pick for the Man Booker prize, announced tomorrow. I've not managed to read all of it yet. Also, I've only glanced at the others on the shortlist.
