A review by meagan_young
A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles
5.0
I ultimately really liked this book, but I took a while to get into. This was the third time I picked it up, so I guess third time’s the charm?
I think it took about 200 pages before I was terribly drawn in, and then once Sofia was introduced I was hooked! There were so many little tidbits throughout the book that made great jokes, great insights, or sweet moments. It did take a while to get into the style, but once you sink into it and understand the tone and quips it was masterful! The characters are all SO lovable. There were just enough loose ends tied up nicely and mysteries left to ponder that it was a good balance that didn’t feel forced.
