Paperback or ebook for The Iron Heel? I tend to go for paper when I want to slow down with a book.

Tadhg, i am following this thread for exactly that reason. Happy to hear a few different opinions.

The Iron Heel is one I am weighing up. Leaving a boost while I decide. The hard bit is narrowing the list down to just one.

Tadhg, that is what I like about a shortlist. It makes me stop endlessly browsing and actually choose.

For anyone considering The Iron Heel: Would love to hear a different take too. The interesting picks are often the ones people split on.
