Slower and more reflective than the other two books I have read by this author.  This was the third pick up and I’m glad I went back to it.  I found my self looking forward to seeing what Mr. Stevens was reflecting on while driving.

Such a subtle and beautiful story. Very different from the books I usually enjoy (with lots of action, suspense, or fantasy), but I really liked it!

Made me think about the dignity of doing a job well, the dignity of thinking for yourself, and acting on your morals, shady employers, unreliable narrators, and chilling out and taking a road trip.
