Honourable Mentions
Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett--- sooo very very good. I couldn't tell where pratchett left off and NG stepped in with the writing it was flawless. The humour was right up my alley.

We Need to Talk About Kevin By Lionel Shriver---  This book haunts me to this day. I just, I can't even describe in a review what it did to me. Will I ever read it again or see the movie. No, I will not. Am I grateful that I read it? Absolutely.
