And, if I recall correctly, all of those who read it and posted about it here praised it highly.

To be honest, it simply never interested me - and still doesn't - whatever the Pulitzer Committee thinks.

2. I liked it alright, but I liked last year's Pulitzer novel a lot more.

Donna Tartt's "The Goldfinch." There's supposed to be a movie in the works; hope it does justice to the book.

4. I loved it. It struck a chord with me. But I find the WWII era especially fascinating.

Both my wife and I give it very high marks.

We have Donna Tartt's The Goldfinch on order at the library.
