Ouch! (I'm sorry, just had to :D)

I agree with you too, don't think it deserved any Booker. (Saw your comments, thank you for the reminder.) 80%? Really? When I finished reading 50% of it, I was thinking, he should have stopped it there, and I stood by it after having read the whole book too. It just went downhill from then...
