Year 6, week 22: The Lincoln Highway

This week's book:
The Lincoln Highway: A Novel
By Amor Towles

This was one of Book of the Month's end of the year finalists for 2022 as the year's best book. This book didn't win, but I hadn't read it so, for free, I thought I would give it a whirl. 

The story is told from many points of views, and is a well written book. The story is a cross country coming of age story of two brothers and the people they meet along the way. This book just has the feel of a book that book groups across the country will probably read over the next little while. 

I was mostly cutting tie blankets for my girl scout troop's service project while I listened to the book. It's probably a good thing that I listened and read at the same time, because I'm not entirely sure I would have ever finished the novel. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the book, but it was a little too long for being thirty-seven weeks pregnant. 

I would recommend this book if you are in the mood for a thick book that is really rather deep into character development and plot.
