| | 1. |  | Let the Great World Spin: A Novel
from Random House
Price: $12.75
Customer Review:
I was very excited to read this book after I read a lot of great reviews of it. Perhaps I was built up for it a tad too much, because I just felt disappointed with the results.

| | 10. |  | Fishing the Sloe-Black River: Stories
from Picador
Price: $6.49
Customer Review:
This is one of the most magnificent collections of short stories I have ever read. Disarmingly provocative and true. The final story Cathal's Lake is truly a classic in contemporary literature about Northern Ireland. A reading experience I will never forget.
