Recent Booker Prize winner and a very deserving one at that. Uplifting, fantastic story on the physical and spiritual journey of a ship-wreck survivor as he floats across the ocean on a life-raft... alone except for a tiger for company...

I could not get past the first 50 pages of this book, the writing style was just awful to follow. This book went into the "eventually I'll resell it on Amazon" pile - -cause it was too painful to read.
There was a Civil War Series that was outstanding -- Gods and Generals, The Last Full Measure, there are two other books in the series as well -- the first three were written by Jeffrey Shaara the last book in the series, was written by Michael Shaara.
Movies were made of the first two books, but the books were so much better than the movies.
