The Lincoln Highway: A Novel Customer Reviews
:- from kathleen g -- TOP 500 REVIEWER : yes it meanders but...... ( 5.0 out of 5 stars )
- 2.0 out of 5 stars from Compulsive Reader -- Polished prose provokes lethargy : Try as I might, I failed to generate a spark of interest in any of the characters or their aimless wanderings. A Gentleman in Moscow, though set almost entirely in one building, had a great deal more action and interest. ( Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2021 )
- 1.0 out of 5 stars from M. G. Ball -- After GENTLEMAN FROM MOSCOW, what a disappointment... : The principles are teenage boys in the early 1950s--except for an eight-year-old little brother. The narrator ricochets from one of the characters to another, their thoughts (except, maybe, for Emmett’s) far too mature and introspective considering the ages involved. Moreover, the little brother is beyond precocious. The plot meanders, soon becomes tedious, then devolves into the absurd. I gave up… ( Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2021 )
- 1.0 out of 5 stars from Amazon Customer -- This is a huge let down after author’s first two books : I thought his two first books were brilliant. This one is horrible. Uninteresting characters, no action, strange punctuation. Really hard to read. ( Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2021 )
- from KasaC -- TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE VOICE : Wish i'd liked it more ( 3.0 out of 5 stars )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from S. Corman -- This book is a winner! : Once again, Amor Towles has managed to populate his novel with a cast of endearing and quirky characters that tug at your heart strings. "The Lincoln Highway", is a marvelous story that is at once an adventure novel while being a tale of hopes and dreams fulfilled or dashed. ( Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2021 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Amazon reader -- Great Book : This is one of the best books I’ve read in some time. The characters come alive and you get lost in the fantastic story. ( Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2021 )
- 4.0 out of 5 stars from jdmcox -- A very nice story : It's a very nice story, but it's for young people; I'm too old for it, so I had to skim and speed-read it. I did enjoy it in a superficial way. If I were under 15, I would have really enjoyed it. However, Amor Towles is one of my favorite authors because of Rules of Civility, one of my favorite books (it was for grown-ups, and the author's intelligence shows through it all). Still, 4 stars because he did such a good job of writing for that audience. ( Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2021 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from millhall -- A multi faceted road journey. : I am a fan of this author. I freely admit that some readers found his earlier books to be trivial and frivolous. I found them to be a delight. Towles is like no other author I know. It takes some time to become hooked by his stories, but the reward is refreshing writing that is unique. The present novel is the story of two brothers who plan to set off from their failed family farm in Nebraska and start a new life in California. Their Plans are thwarted by the appearance of two friends who cause a major disruption which leads to multiple detours on the journey. The story is far fetched and almost ludicrous, but the characters who are portrayed come alive and I did not wish the book to end. In no sense is this book a thriller and yet tension does exist as the end approaches. Th final element of the conclusion has an element of theft from the ending of "The Italian Job" but I think that can be forgiven. Despite an almost total lack of sex, violence and foul language the book moves along at a compelling pace. There is a smattering of philosophy, a touch of Greek mythology and Shakespeare is not forgotten. Much to admire and enjoy. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 20, 2021 )
- 2.0 out of 5 stars from A.Sturgess -- Wanders off the highway : Interesting at first then the characters and story start to wander all over the place - and I don't just mean as they develop their journey. Emmett and Billy come alive in the first chapters but then seem to fall away and become far less believable. VERY disappointing. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 12, 2021 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Cathyreadsalot -- Wonderful book : This is a great read , mr Townes has created another masterpiece- after the gentleman in Moscow I doubted he could equal it - but this book is a joy a real joy to read . Wonderful characters great plot and dare I say it will be a fantastic movie !!! ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 1, 2021 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Nina -- Amor Towles is one of the best authors of today : After having read A gentleman in Moscow, I knew I had to buy The Lincoln Highway! I haven’t completely finished it yet but I couldn’t wait to share my thoughts! The writing style is simplistic enough but full of detail and let’s you understand each character in such a meaningful way. Towles writing style is recognisable and I can’t wait to finish this book as well as hope there’s more books in the making! ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 4, 2021 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from FunOne -- Brilliant, again : A completely different context and set of characters but the writing scintillates. Amor has the ability to craft a wonderful story, populate it with deeply developed and realistically flawed characters and convey a rich sense of the time and place in history. Oh, and to impart knowledge and insights from culture, classics an literature while doing it. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 29, 2021 )
