I'd go for Daughter of Smoke and Bone or So Yesterday: both YA, both definitely 5 stars, but very different.

If you don't find an antihero book that grabs you, then the second-best thing might be something short. Watchmen is a graphic novel. I gave it 3 stars, but it will only take you a few hours. Check out my review if you think you might consider it.

The only other things I see are classics, like Atlas Shrugged (huge) and Catch-22 and recent things I bet you've read, like Gone Girl and The Knife of Never Letting Go. But those were all only 4 stars for me. I also second Bea's suggestion of trying something by Tana French; they all seem to be on the list, and each was a 4* for me.

Thank you, Susan...

I've been eyeing Daughter of Smoke & Bone but not really feeling the vibe there. So Yesterday looks good though, sound like it might be funny -I might see if I can source that.

I've read Watchmen (was okay), Gone Girl (hated it with a passion), & Catch-22. I'm not up to the huge-ness of Atlas... BUT I do have The Knife of Never Letting Go (got it signed too!), didn't even see this one on the shelf!

2 more options to consider, thank you, lovely lady :)

Options for Anti-hero - I enjoyed all of these.

Fight Club (psychological fiction) Red Dragon (thriller) Black Ice (romantic suspense) Darkfever (Urban Fantasy)

Oooh... and we've got Coralie and LynnB head to head...

Each have got Brick sized book to read plus one other average size book (assuming about 300+ pages)

I'm very excited!

Aargh. Profusion of Pages again, I've had this three times now and each time I get a different number of pages. So far I've had f, b,and now a, no doubt by the time I finish this challenge I'll have had c,d, and e as well.

I've had it 3 times as well, Karen. B, e, & d and I've just rolled my last slice so there's hope yet ;)
