It's official.  You agreed with the final judging panel.  Of the hundreds of votes cast, almost 50% of them were for The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon, this year's overall winner. 

Log on again next year for another opportunity to vote for your Whitbread Book of the Year and win tickets to the awards presentation ceremony.

You will be able to vote for the book you would like to see win the Whitbread Book of the Year after the shortlisted books have been announced on the 7th January 2004.
