I enjoyed The Dry, partly because I don't generally read crime books. I did read afterwards that it's supposed to be the creme de la creme of crime novels, which made me think, I'd hate to read the worst crime novels, if The Dry is the best - it wasn't that good.
A lot of books are over-hyped nowadays. I pretty much agree with your list, Terribull. Those books are enjoyable but not outstanding. I decided not to read the Lincoln book after I read a review that said it was only popular because it was trendy amongst people who feel the need to impress.
As for My Brilliant Friend, I thought it was dire! I didn't get the hype at all.
