I rate them in that order, but if you like a bit of off the wall Western noir, "The Sisters Brothers". Personally I'd avoid "Snowdrops" and try "The Last Hundred Days" from the long list instead. That probably would have been my shortlist, with "Jessie Lamb" maybe in for "The Sisters Brothers".Messy_Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05793938555354522246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817560476597166820.post-9932474806166672802011-09-29T17:15:21.082+10:002011-09-29T17:15:21.082+10:00Hi!

I had intended to read at least the shortlist before they announced the winner but that doesn't seem to be possible in the time left :( I will go through your reviews to see if I can pick something.
