I'm surprised this one hasn't come up in my offline reading group. I liked Enduring Love a great deal, and I don't know why I haven't read more by him. Your recommendation has made me very eager to read it, thank you.
Re: descriptions of war, have you read Birdsong? I don't think Sebastian Faulks is a particularly accomplished writer, but his subject matter makes him really raise his game in this.
Witches Abroad -- it's not available in the US! I'm a compulsive Pratchett fan. Worth ordering from overseas?
You know, I had blanked this one almost entirely. It's there on the shelf, and I know I've read it, but I couldn't for the life of me remember anything about it. Flicked through it just now and, to be honest, I don't think it's worth you spending the extra cash on it. Checked with Mr Altariel (who could remember more about it), who reminded me that Gollum makes a very brief cameo, but he didn't think even that was worth you shipping it in.
