The Lincoln Highway

 “The Lincoln Highway” by Amor Towles

Published by Viking

 

I enjoyed this one much more than “A Gentleman in Moscow” by the same author.  Both are very well written with great character development, but I found this storyline to be more entertaining.  Sometimes a book this size will drag in parts, but I didn’t find that to be the case while reading it – I was fully invested the entire time.  And although there are multiple points of view throughout the story, you are still able to have solid connections with the main characters.  I did have to continually remind myself of just how young they were because some are pretty mature for their ages and they are continually thrown into difficult situations.  I definitely recommend it, however, if you have the same pet peeve as me, please know there are no quotation marks.  There are dashes in front of paragraphs with speaking parts that I found helpful though.

 

Finished 2/9/25 – 4/5 stars
