The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo - Steig Larsson
Well plotted with the threads of interconnecting stories brought together nicely. A couple of the plot twists jarred somewhat but a good holiday read!
Roadkill - Kinky Friedman
A rollocking good laugh (a LOL book) from start to finish. Who but the Kinkster would be on the road with Willie Nelson who thinks he's under an Indian curse?!
Water for Elephants - Sarah Gruen
In a word, lovely. Beautifully evocative of the great circuses of the Depression with a bit of suspense thrown in.
Sons and Lovers - D H Lawrence
Started off well but the main bulk with the focus on second son of the title was tedious and bogged down in an unsympathetic character. I only finished it as I can't waste a book as I never know where the next one is coming from!
The White Tiger - Aravind Adiga
Really, really good. A scathing look at modern India. Interestingly I felt it could have been a bit longer and more fleshed out. Thematically it reminded me of Transmission by Hari Kunzru.
