Amor Towles is what an established critic would call a “master storyteller.” And I would say, “Indeed.”

This was a slow start for me, but I started really liking the book at about the half way point and it really won me over by the end.

3.5 / 5 stars
The beginning and ending were strong and raised my overall rating for the book. The beginning and ending were wholesome, heartwarming, and well-written.
However, without such a strong beginning and ending, this would have been a 1 or 2 star read. Unfortunately, the entire middle section was verbose and uninteresting. Truly, the middle could have been greatly condensed.
