I gave up on Homestead by Rosina Lippi and didn’t enjoy Amsterdam by Ian McEwan.
Vernon God Little by DBC Pierre is a riot of a read! It wasn’t until I was halfway through the book that I started to enjoy the ride. It’s a bit difficult to read initially, the American slang is hard work (like The Wire without sub-titles!), but it pays to persevere. Probably worth a re-read to pick up the humour I missed on the first read.
