I love Amor Towles but, OP, just go with what suits you. I have plenty of writers I hate that other people love, and vice versa.

Same. I have a friend who started with Lincoln Highway and loved it, so not sure if I just had unrealistic expectations once I got to it.

I’m describing myself. I love all his writing. Just finished Table For Two.

Lincoln Highway is one of my favorite books I’ve read as an adult. But it’s very much a boy’s story. A girl reading it is like me picking up my wife’s Kristin Hannah novels. I enjoy them, but I feel like I’m not really in the club.

I'm a female who loved The Lincoln Highway and also loves (most, not The Women) Kristin Hannah books.

Moscow was not for me, but I've liked his other two novels. Didn't enjoy the short story collection that's recently been released.

He overwrites unfortunately, but Rules of Civility was terrific! Moscow was a dud.

Oh, I also loved Lincoln Highway.

I hated Gentlemen in Moscow, also thought it was boring but I loved Rules of Civility!

Is this a love him or hate him type of author? If I thought Gentleman in Moscow was boring should I try or skip his other books?
