Summary

Tras el formidable éxito de público y crítica de sus dos primeras novelas， Normas de cortesía -escogida por The Wall Street Journal como uno de los mejores libros del año 2011 y ganadora del Premio Fitzgerald en 2012- y Un caballero en Moscú -que se mantuvo dos años en las listas de The New York Times-， Amor Towles vuelve con una historia colosal sobre el viaje iniciático de cuatro jóvenes por el corazón de Estados Unidos durante la década de los años cincuenta。

Contada desde múltiples puntos de vista y poblada por un variado elenco de personajes magnéticos， desde vagabundos que malviven entre raíles hasta aristócratas del Upper East Side， La autopista Lincoln es una novela arrolladora de encuentros y desencuentros， un azaroso tránsito de la juventud a la edad adulta。

Sue ，

While not a page turner， the author created characters you came to care about and a story well told。 It was long， but worth the read。

Theresa Nardi ，

Well done but it needed an editor， too long by at least 100 pages！

Juan David ，

No tan bueno como el otro libro que leí de Towles （A Gentleman in Moscow） pero aun así bastante entretenido。 Es interesante ver como se narra la misma historia desde la perspectiva de diferentes personajes y como entran en conflicto constante por la corta edad de muchos de los personajes。

Jill Poulsen ，

This is easily my favorite book of the year。 The craftsmanship involved in writing this book was masterful。

I had the same issue with The Lincoln Highway that I had with A Gentleman in Moscow。 I find Amor Towles' storytelling uneven， and there are times while reading one of his books that I disengage。 Telling the story from varying points of view as in The Lincoln Highway often felt gimmicky when， for example， a chapter focusing on one character ended and was picked-up in the next chapter by a different character。 Often the story would then backtrack and fill in details （from another character's point I had the same issue with The Lincoln Highway that I had with A Gentleman in Moscow。 I find Amor Towles' storytelling uneven， and there are times while reading one of his books that I disengage。 Telling the story from varying points of view as in The Lincoln Highway often felt gimmicky when， for example， a chapter focusing on one character ended and was picked-up in the next chapter by a different character。 Often the story would then backtrack and fill in details （from another character's point of view） that I didn't believe added to the narrative。Certain characters， and therefore certain chapters， were more compelling than others。 Duchess is a difficult character， and I rarely connected with him。 The fact that Towles told Duchess' story from first person （one of only two characters） made him more problematic for me， not less。 。。。more

Louise ，

Very well written and captivating。。but couldn’t stand Duchess。 Emmett’s passivity and lack of common sense irritated me from the beginning， in allowing Duchess back into his life。 Clever， thought provoking ending

Jamie Hansen ，

Make it 3 hrs in and couldn’t get into it。

After reading only two of Amor Towles's novels， I was nearly ready to claim him among my favorite modern authors; The Lincoln Highway solidified it。 While this novel may not have reached quite the same level of affection as the first two I read （purely personal preference）， I thoroughly enjoyed this book。 Towles is a beautiful writer and an exemplary storyteller。 This work shows he's also a versatile one。This book was reminiscent of something that would be on a high school reading list （and I sa After reading only two of Amor Towles's novels， I was nearly ready to claim him among my favorite modern authors; The Lincoln Highway solidified it。 While this novel may not have reached quite the same level of affection as the first two I read （purely personal preference）， I thoroughly enjoyed this book。 Towles is a beautiful writer and an exemplary storyteller。 This work shows he's also a versatile one。This book was reminiscent of something that would be on a high school reading list （and I say that in the best way）; it's a great American coming-of-age story following four young boys who seem to run into adventure after adventure （often despite their best laid plans）。 Their story is complex， filled with disappointments， messiness， and tricks， but it also has heart， resilience， and light。 I also loved how expertly Towles wove Billy's compendium of adventurers into the boys' story。 It made for a compelling thread throughout the novel。So， despite Duchess having me ready to pull my hair out at each turn， The Lincoln Highway is a joyride。 4。5 stars。 。。。more

Loved the characters in this book。

Olga ，

piekna opowieść， nie mogłam się oderwać

Kellie ，

Fantastic book！

Deborah Powers ，

I'm not entirely sure how to categorize this。。。tragicomedy？ an epic？ Either way， I devoured this over the weekend。 It's a compelling multi-voice narrative with vivid characters。 I'm not entirely sure how to categorize this。。。tragicomedy？ an epic？ Either way， I devoured this over the weekend。 It's a compelling multi-voice narrative with vivid characters。 。。。more

Joan ，

An ending worthy of discussion。

Bonmcmurray ，

This is a good story， told well。 Do try the recipe for Fettuccine Mio Amore that Duchess prepares for the group near the end of the book。 I tried it with turkey bacon -- delicious！ You can find it online。

Kelly ，

Another masterpiece by Mr。 Towles！Mr。 Towels has written was is sure to be （another） modern classic！ Love the story， the characters， the history。 The nearly 600 pages breezed by。 HIGHLY recommend！ Loved it！

David ，

I loved 'A Gentleman in Moscow' so much that it made me slightly apprehensive about reading another book by Towles。 How could it possibly match up？ Wouldn't I be setting myself up for the disappointment of a lesser read？This is another terrific novel from Towles。 It's always great reading a book that you are enjoying so much， and this was an absolute pleasure。 I loved 'A Gentleman in Moscow' so much that it made me slightly apprehensive about reading another book by Towles。 How could it possibly match up？ Wouldn't I be setting myself up for the disappointment of a lesser read？This is another terrific novel from Towles。 It's always great reading a book that you are enjoying so much， and this was an absolute pleasure。 。。。more

The good thing about this book is that it is easy to read， clear prose， uncomplicated sentence structure， and even if you doze off reading it the night before， you can simply go on several chapters later next day without being afraid of having missed something。 The bad news is that the book is deathly boring！ The four main characters could all be melted into one， they all seem to speak with the same voice。 I have no clear picture of their individuality， except for Billy， of course （why， oh why， The good thing about this book is that it is easy to read， clear prose， uncomplicated sentence structure， and even if you doze off reading it the night before， you can simply go on several chapters later next day without being afraid of having missed something。 The bad news is that the book is deathly boring！ The four main characters could all be melted into one， they all seem to speak with the same voice。 I have no clear picture of their individuality， except for Billy， of course （why， oh why， are younger brothers always called that cute "Billy"。。。。why are they never George， or Herbert， or Harry？ ）， who speaks with the wise voice of a 60-years old。 Emmet and the two runaways Dutchess and Woolly are meant to be eighteen。。。。they speak like old men。 I kept wondering why nobody was looking for Dutchess and Woolly。Even the warden and the policeman sounded like the same person。 After about page 20， I felt I was reading another Disneyland script， same old stuff told a thousand times before， stereotypical characters， boring events， except for those that were strange and highly improbable。 I hadn't read any other books by Amor Towles before， and will not waste my time reading any others now。One star goes to Amos Towles for having found a publisher who was actually prepared to print this stuff。 。。。more

Shirley ，

I absolutely love Amor Towles’ writing。 I have read A Gentleman In Moscow， and am currently reading Rules of Civility。 I would have to say that he is my favorite and look forward to， hopefully， more to come。

Julie Rotelli ，

Wonderful writing， but so much of this book is unnecessary and irrelevant。 The ending made me mad and somehow felt rushed， despite hundreds of pages of side stories and bloated storylines。

Hope Barker ，

Wow。 What an amazing adventure and what interesting people I got to know along the way！ I loved every minute of this book。

Donna ，

I loved Towles "Rules of Civility。" I haven't read his "A Gentleman in Moscow。" This book was not what I was expecting， but that might be a good thing。Multiple narrators sometimes pose a problem for me and for this book that was true at the beginning until I got used to it。 The story itself is quite interesting and involved although told in segments that might each be considered a short story itself。 Every time I thought the plot had too many coincidences to be believable， someone would recall a I loved Towles "Rules of Civility。" I haven't read his "A Gentleman in Moscow。" This book was not what I was expecting， but that might be a good thing。Multiple narrators sometimes pose a problem for me and for this book that was true at the beginning until I got used to it。 The story itself is quite interesting and involved although told in segments that might each be considered a short story itself。 Every time I thought the plot had too many coincidences to be believable， someone would recall a prior conversation that explained why they knew the answer。 In the end， I thought this was pretty good。 Having seven hours in the car （each way） to and from vacation was the push I needed to finish。 。。。more

Jennifer ，

What a great and memorable story。

i wish this book had 1000 more pages

When a book makes you laugh or express surprise as often as this one， you don't want it to end。 I loved some of the character musings: "。。。she had tucked the covers so tightly that you could see the corners of the mattress through the surface of the blanket， the way you can see Jane Russell through the surface of her sweater。" Only those of us of a certain age would get that， and I did。 Or: "But in order to read a gas station map， you have to unfold and unfold and unfold it until the Pacific Oce When a book makes you laugh or express surprise as often as this one， you don't want it to end。 I loved some of the character musings: "。。。she had tucked the covers so tightly that you could see the corners of the mattress through the surface of the blanket， the way you can see Jane Russell through the surface of her sweater。" Only those of us of a certain age would get that， and I did。 Or: "But in order to read a gas station map， you have to unfold and unfold and unfold it until the Pacific Ocean is up against the gear shift and the Atlantic Ocean is lapping at the passenger-side door。" So true。 Or: "From the standpoint of ambience， the good people at Howard Johnson's had decided to carry the colors of their well-known rooftop into the restaurant by dressing the booths in bright orange and the waitresses in bright blue--despite the fact that the combination of orange and blue hasn't been known to stimulate an appetite since the beginning of time。" This book was chock-a-block with perfectly articulated everyday experiences like this。 Great story。 Great writing。 Wonderfully developed characters。 I would read this book again。 。。。more

I listened to this one， but was not a fan。 I had high hopes and am still wondering about the ending。

Really four and a half stars。 The author is an amazing teller of stories。

James F。 ，

THIS BOOK IS EXCELLENT Amor Towles surprised me。 It is not a mystery that I usually read it is an adventure。 It is so lifelike that you can see the characters。 The writing is top notch and the characters are so believable。 Don't hesitate order this book from your favorite library。 THIS BOOK IS EXCELLENT Amor Towles surprised me。 It is not a mystery that I usually read it is an adventure。 It is so lifelike that you can see the characters。 The writing is top notch and the characters are so believable。 Don't hesitate order this book from your favorite library。 。。。more

So disappointing。 I loved A Gentleman In Moscow so much and this one just fell flat。
