Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol led, but 2009 belonged to two sagas: Twilight occupied places two through five, while Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and its sequels, arrived as a Scandinavian crime sensation. The chart was now driven by series binges, not single titles. Hilary Mantel's Booker-winning Wolf Hall slipped in among the genre juggernauts, a rare literary heavyweight. The sleeper is The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Eric Carle's decades-old board book selling like a new release. A year of vampires, Swedish thrillers and one prize-winning Tudor epic.
