Libscigrl asked Jo Baker:

Hi Ms Baker! I'd love to know what your favorite book of all time is? I'd also love to know- what book you did not enjoy that everyone else seemed to love? Thank you!

Jo Baker Ooh I find this so tricky! I can't narrow it down to one favourite book - I tend to love authors (I currently have a bit of a thing for Hilary Mantel - I think she's the best writer writing in english that I know) As for books that disappoint, there have been a good few... but it's so subjective and I wouldn't want to offend others (having been at the receiving end more than once myself!)
