Book of the Month

[kiwiria]

I did this last year, and thought it would be fun to do again.

I know December isn't over yet, but we're half way through, so I reckon it's okay to make an assumption.
Which was the best (and worst) book you read each month?

My answer is in the comments once I make up my mind for each month ;)
