Full list here. As you know I've been following the Best Novel nominees pretty closely. The winners in that category were: 'The Windup Girl' and 'The City & the City'. (Yep, this year there was a tie. I think that's only the third time this has happened.)
I liked both books quite a bit. 'The City & the City' is kind of a fantasy noir which takes place in two strangely nested cities in some fictional part of eastern Europe. 'The Windup Girl' takes place in a future Thailand after oil has run out and global trade has collapsed. Both were utterly readable and compelling. It would have been hard for the Hugo voters to embarrass themselves this year and they didn't.
