Review:
Towles has a way with words and his characters are vivid. The book leaves no string neatly tied. Every story line is some sort of unlimited possibility and only one character's story has an ending. I found the change of character from chapter to chapter enticing and the indication that one of the characters in the book wrote it (though that seems quite impossible--it remains yet another tantalizing possibility). The book is quite compelling and each character seems to explore a fundamental flaw, though none completely. This is well worth the time for any reader, but particularly for those who enjoy classical philosophy.
