The Savage Detectives: A Novel
Roberto Bolano
Picador, 2008
Strange and chaotic book
First of all if you are trying to grasp Bolaņo I would recommend by far 2666 (Narrativas Hispanicas) (Paperback)2666: A Novel, an excellent novel.
I read the Spanish version and the Mexican slang all over the novel can be sometimes overwhelming.
The story is chaotic nevertheless amusing. But ...

One Good Turn: A Novel
Kate Atkinson
Back Bay Books, 2007
Great read!
+ A perfect piece of literature!
+ Convoluted mystery, told in a compulsively readable fashion.
I love Kate Atkinson, and this book does not disappoint. This is just an all around great read - great story, great pacing. It would be good to read Case Histories first so you can meet the characters, but the book stands on its own, as well, which I appreciate.
