I have purchased all six as I always do every year. Usually gain an enormous amount of enjoyment from a large number of them. It's always great to encounter new authors and I look forward to their arrival. So far I have read about the horrors of the Burma railway construction which is obviously a well written and thought provoking book. However, pleased to have finished it. Then We Are All Completely........understood the message but no way did I look forward to picking it up. Now Ali Smith.....started this last night and presented with the incomprehensible first pages leading into the Middle Ages etc. please tell me that these judges have managed to choose something to delight me if I continue with the three other contenders or indeed has Ali Smith something to offer? As I love books why am I so disheartened? Can anyone cheer me up and tell me the rest are worthy of selection and I have only to give them time?
