The House of Broken Angels by Luis Alberto Urrea
4.0

This was a really enjoyable read, and some really beautifully rendered imagery, especially when describing memories of Mexico. This is not a book that cares very much about plot - it's all about getting into the characters' heads at a specific slice of time. I thought towards the end, when the plot does actually take a turn, it was somewhat jarring and unnecessary, but it's a rather minor complaint.
