An Irish Country Doctor
3 1/2 out of 5 stars.
This book was delightful, if a little TOO predictable and sacharine. It was a nice change of pace from my October fare which is mostly thrillers and ghost stories, and this book provided a nice pallet cleanser but it was just a little too pat for my taste.
I like a happily every after as much as the next person, but I never thought that everything wouldn't work out. What conflict there was, never felt conflicty enough - even though it was a doctor, nothing every felt life or death.
But I did enjoy the characters, I was rooting for them and though there were no surprises and everything did work out in the end, it was still a nice break from the doom and gloom (and the sheer number of actual deaths) of my October reading.
