BEST NOVELTo be honest I'm not that clued up on most of these, but seeing The City & The City win (albeit jointly) was not surprising - it seems to be a solid award favourite this year. I really need to read The Windup Girl though, it sounds much more like my sort of novel!

I'm also really pleased that Moon beat off some of the big films to win, very well deserved and one of my favourite sci-fi films I've watched in recent years.

I haven't read either "The City and The City" or "The Windup Girl" though I did put "The Windup Girl" on hold at the library. The whole idea behind it seems really, really interesting...
Cool, I downloaded the Stross story to read sometime. And great to see Moon getting the honour it deserves!
I read (and reviewed) The City & The City at my blog awhile ago.
I like mystery and SF so it was cool he combined both genres. hat being said I didn't think he did it very successfully and rated it a B+.
I really like the early China Mieville books (The Scar, Perdido Street Station, but I am dying to get through Kraken right now.
I'm definitely gonna try and read The Windup Girl at some point.
