Bretnie | 838 comments I'd like to nominate The Fishermen, by Chigozie Obioma. A friend told me they liked it much better than An Orchestra of Minorities, so I've been meaning to pick it up.

Sam | 447 comments I nominate The Netanyahus, Joshua Cohen. This just won the Pulitzer Prize but has less than 300 reviews.
