lanabug711 's review for:
The Lincoln Highway
by Amor Towles
4.5 stars rounded up to 5. A Gentleman in Moscow was a home run for me, but Rules of Civility was somewhat of a miss. So I wasn't quite sure how I'd feel about Amor Towles' latest book. While not quite a home run, this was an excellent read. While there is a large cast of characters, none of them seem like secondary characters. All of them are vivid and have very human foibles that make them even more real and relatable. Woolly especially hit a soft spot in my heart, while I admired the maturity that teenage Emmett displayed. I also liked the nod to Rules of Civility that was linked through Woolly.
Overall, this is a journey story. Like the stories in Billy's book, each of the main characters are on his or her own journey. For some of the characters, it's a physical journey, while for others, it's a journey of emotional growth. The Lincoln Highway is just a pretext for the journeys that each of them take.
