    Meh...
  

*by R***L on Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2019*

I read that this was the only winner of the Booker Prize to go out of print. Well, I can see why. Usually I love this type of setting: Mediterranean adventures in the 1960s. The books opens promisingly enough, setting this scene. Somewhat reminiscent of The Magus. Unfortunately there the similarities end. The plot is not exciting, the characterization is poor, and the writing is confusing and uninspiring. The felt this book dragged along. I wouldn't even have had in on a shortlist for the Booker.

    A great start for the Booker Prize
  

*by C***B on Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2013*

Like the others who have reviewed this book, I was lead to it because it was the first recipient of the Booker Prize. I had read a couple of Booker winners previously which I enjoyed, and thought the list of winners would be a quality reading list to help me get over the paralyzation I suffer when trying to pick my next book. After finishing "Something to Answer For", I am excited for the trip I have in store!What I loved about this book was the uncertainty; trying to figure out what was real and what was not. I felt this kept me more engaged and reading more carefully for the little clue that would make it all clear. Newby does a fantastic job of making you connect with the protagonist, Townrow, and after a long stretch of reading I couldn't help but carry a little bit of his confusion with me, making me question some of my basic assumptions about who I am.  It is also refreshing to have stories like this where the character, even after making some dubious choices throughout his life, can still draw you in and remind you that it isn't always black and white: doing something considered morally suspect does not make one a bad person. I love when books make you connect and feel for a person that you might otherwise judge based on a few of their actions."Something to Answer For" kept me enthralled from beginning to end, and I highly recommend it for a challenging, insightful read.

    Disorienting
  

*by M***M on Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2019*

The main character was very disoriented and it distracted from the narrative.  Maybe that was the point.  I’m surprised this won the first Booker Prize.
