Rules of Civility
by Amor Towles
3.5 stars
Round up to 4 stars for -
Witty lines
Clever conversations
Glamour and glitz of the pre-WWII NYC elite
Subtle but powerful reflections on socioeconomic status, structure and impact
Round down to 3 stars for -
Lack of interest in the main character; I tried liking her throughout. Never quite got there.
Disappearance of a character I thought to be the most witty and clever; when she left the story, the story sagged for me.
Overall, an entertaining read that I never would have been able to muster up myself, so kudos to this author and his first novel. I would absolutely, without a doubt read his others.
