#6) Divisadero
This book is basically two stories that are held together by the thinnest of threads. And that's a good thing because one of the stories sucks. And is boring. And has characters that I would not feel one way or the other if they met with violent, untimely deaths. Sadly this crappy story takes up more than the first half of the book. I was very disappointed.
The second story however, was wonderful, and dreamy, and sad, and very, very good. It's unfortunate that this great story, which could have easily stood on it's own, and even been elaborated upon until it was novel-length itself, was attached to the other.
Were it not for my obsessive nature regarding finishing a book once I've started it, I may not have gotten far enough into the book to reach the good part.
