Young men on an adventure! Mark Twain would have been proud of this one.

Interesting. Didn’t know where it was going, which was ultimately nowhere and everywhere.
Fantastic book!

Second book I’ve read by Towles. Loved them both.

The rich cast of characters on a landscape of story telling that had more on ramps than the Lincoln Highway and more turns than any reader could have hoped for in a novel. Superb
What a ride!

Many sub-stories within a supremely crafted tale. One of a kind surprises right and left with no shortage of adventure and wisdom - a genuine page turner!
Fantastic Characters

By one who reads occasionally
This book tells a story of an amazing adventure with two brothers, about 8 years apart, getting ready to set out for their future (as their father recently died). But instead of having a direct path forward, they are deterred by a few other characters and meet a few more. The story is intelligently written connecting pieces along the way.
Outstanding

The writing was fantastic, you cared about EVERY character, and the plot was simple enough to thoroughly explore every character. Very moving. Excellent.
A Classic To Me

Not everyone gets it. This book completely and unexpectedly resonated with me.
