Mosquitoland by David Arnold

4.0

"My Objective, once achieved, turned out to be something else entirely." And that's Mary Iris Malone's journey in a nutshell. Quirky and wise and utterly enjoyable. Well, except for the final 10 pages, which weren't quite as utterly. They were a little too "tie everything up neatly with a bow." But. The other 320 or so pages rocked. The author has drawn some criticism for his protagonist's use of "war paint." I found Mim's defenses against the craziness of the world to be authentic and certainly not a denigration of Native Americans. Mim takes you on a truly epic road trip.
