Gentlemen of the Road: A Tale of Adventure by Michael Chabon
3.0
I picked this book because of the title--It's a lovely phrase, and also, Mumford & Sons have called their tours, on occasion, "Gentlemen of the Road." :)
This was a book I wanted to like more than I did. I spent most of the book just convincing myself to finish so I can move on to something else. I liked Zelikman and Amram, for the most part, and I liked how they got drawn into this adventure because of being swindlers, but the pacing seemed off, and there were too many groups of people to have to keep track of, and I found a lot of the action predictable.
I liked the elephants, though. Books should have more elephants.
