Andorra -- Take 2

I finished up Andorra while S and I were skiing in Colorado recently.  This is the first book in my 2024 Reading Challenge, so I'm only about a month behind ... and about a month in ... so maybe we're not off to a great start. 

I didn't love this book, and I think it's because I didn't really like the characters much.  The main character is sort of a bumbling doofus through much of the book, and I never developed a liking for him.  The one character I thought had potential to be very interesting -- one of the Rickys -- played only a bit part that served mostly to provide a few setting-based nuggets that the author comes back to later.  So in that sense, I suppose it was constructed reasonably well.  

It also drew a lovely picture of the town of La Plata, in Andorra, and the sparkling seaside harbor around which the town was constructed.  The only problem is that Andorra, in real life, is a land-locked country.  So there were a few liberties taken there.

Overall, it was a quick and easy read, but had some problems.
