Best Books I Read in 2011
The quality of the books I read in 2011 was well above average.
Here at Booklover Book Reviews I give each book I review two ratings – one for ‘The Story’ and another for the ‘The Writing’.
This year 9 books received the honour of being rated 5/5 in both respects.
The best books I read in 2011 were, in the order I read them:
MAJOR PETTIGREW’S LAST STAND – Helen Simonson
TO SAY NOTHING OF THE DOG – Connie Willis
A FAR CRY FROM KENSINGTON – Muriel Spark
THE CHICKEN THIEF – Fiona Leonard
THE TINY WIFE – Andrew Kaufman
RULES OF CIVILITY – Amor Towles
I also highly recommend the books I rated 4.5+ stars in 2011. I gave some of these a 5/5 rating for either The Story or The Writing.
You can now search Booklover Book Reviews by the rating I assign to them, see the links under ‘Book Reviews by Rating’ in my sidebar, currently just above ‘Book Reviews by Author’.
