I subscribe to the English magazine Country Life, in which six literary critics reviewed briefly the six novels on the short list for the prize.
Four were damned with faint praise.
Of the remaining two the following was said of Richard Flanagan's book - Holly Kirkwood wrote, "A powerful book, this isn't a favourite to win, but that's no reason not to pour a stiff drink and get stuck in."
Good on Richard.
