A review by bittersweet_symphony
Gentlemen of the Road by Michael Chabon

2.0

A colorful tale, full of textured but overly pretentious language. Chabon is able to quickly create the world around you on this Central Asia adventure, but his characters lack much development--another 100 pages of focus on character rather than movement would have accented the action with people the reader really cares about.

At the end of it, I was interested in the cultural landscape but almost apathetic toward the aims and hopes of the characters.
