Book Review of Rules of Civility

Rules of Civility
Rules of Civility
Author: Amor Towles
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback
Helpful Score: 2


I read the Gentleman of Moscow and think Amor Towles writing is superb, so had to read this too. In the first half the writing was also superb but the plot started to fall apart for me toward the last quarter of the book---not sure why, too many things happening, too many changes/names? The flow was disrupted. But as far as his writing, write on! Superb writer. Reminded me of the writing of Wallace Stegner and that's saying a lot.
