I didn't care for it, and I liked his other two much more.

Yeah I didn’t like it either. The writing was pretentious and the story was completely unrealistic so it was hard to suspend belief (I’m originally from the FSU - in real life there is absolutely no way he would’ve been able to escape execution).

I had to put it down, OP. I don't remember precisely why, as this was a while ago, but it didn't pull me in.

I didn't love it but I did love Lincoln Highway. After LH, I went back to A Gentleman in Moscow and appreciated it more the second time.

Not every book is for every reader. You should have dropped it like a hot potato early on!

I listened to it on audio and while I didn’t find it riveting, I loved the reader’s voice and found it calming.

I hated it too, never finished

I loved the first half, then though the second half dragged a bit. I found the end to be touching.

Same for me as well. Wonderful author! But it never took off. Over written and under plotted.

I didn’t finish. And I almost never put a book down ince I’ve started.

Same. A friend raved and raved about it and I finally read it. I wasn't bored with the story so much as disappointed with the bad writing. But yeah, very overrated book.

I thought it was okay but didn't love it. I also finished it because my book club was reading it. On my own I probably would have petered out.

Me too.

OK?

There. I had to make myself finish it because everyone else loved it and I kept waiting to be amazed and instead I was bored!!
