The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles

4.0

Emmett and his brother Billy are ready to set off for California to start a new life, when Emmett's two friends interfere and lead them on an adventure to New York. The beginning of this book totally caught my attention. I liked the character of Emmett and thought his backstory was very interesting. Towards the middle of the book I started to get a bit bored as things weren't really moving along and I couldn't see where it was all headed. But the last few chapters really made up for that slow part and I'm glad I stuck with it. I enjoyed all the descriptions of New York and the characters were well-drawn and interesting. I didn't like all the religious aspects, but that's a personal preference. I would definitely recommend this book and think it will be a big hit. Thanks @netgalley for the advance copy!
