The Hamilton Case : A Novel

Rating:
Summary: Simply Over-rated
Review: Half way through this book and it still makes little sense. The whole of the Hamilton Case, for which the book is titled, takes about one chapter, the rest honestly- is pap. Sorry to say the reviews of others led to me read this and I'm sorry I did.

Rating:
Summary: Should win the Man Booker Prize
Review: I read this book in Italy and was constantly admiring of Michelle de Kretser's gorgeous writing and profound insight into human nature and the arc of a life. It is so mature and so complete a work of art that, at the very least, it should be short listed for the Man Booker.

Rating:
Summary: Also find it greatly over-rated
Review: Was glad to see someone else validate my feelings that the book is incredibly overated. Last night I also quit half way through, when I simply got tired of reading it. I found it a great jumble of plot and people - none of whom could I bring myself to care about.
