The Land of Mango Sunsets by Dorothea Benton Frank (#30, Fiction)

I had extremely low expectations for this book.  It seemed like it would be a lousy beach read, and I wasn't even on the beach.  But, I was pleasantly surprised.  No prize winning writing found here, but the characters and plot were definitely more complex and interesting than I anticipated.

2.5 out of 5.

That officially closes out 2013.  I will certainly not be finishing the behemoth of a novel I've recently started before the stroke of midnight tonight.  In 2014 I'd like to continue reading a variety of books, and keep the quality and quantity to high levels.  Happy New Year!
