Disappointing! As a friend said, it’s “dudes doing dude stuff.” There were many characters and plot events that seemed unnecessary. Bummer.

I really loved the writing style, allusions, and character study aspects, but didn't enjoy the plot itself. The description of the book was very different than the actual plot, and I was frustrated by a lack of resolution of many of the plot threads. I would definitely try another book by the author, however.

I loved the depth of character explored in this work. Amor Towles created unique, loveable, complex characters that took me on a journey not down the historic Lincoln Highway, as I supposed when I picked up the novel, but instead invited me into a character driven escapade full of nuggets of wisdom and layers of story that I will not soon forget.
