The Booker Prize Winner 2007
Monday, 24 December 2007
Anne Enright's The Gathering - quite good but actually my least favourite of the contenders.

It's well written and captures the strange life of many generations of an Irish family but it's nowhere near as original as Animal's People, my favourite finalist.

So yet again I disagree with the judges. But in a year of fantastic finalists, that's a small quibble.
