bookzealots's review against another edition
it was going fine until chapter 8 when the author decided to introduce some no class people who all like the f word and there was an f-bomb festival. Took me out of the story and the story went in the trash. Such a disappointment.
Graphic: Cursing

Greatly enjoyed the book, a few sexual references diminished my pleasure of it The storytelling transported me back to the 1930's and was delivered in a very enjoyable style. I admire Towles versatility and always enjoys his stories, and this one didn't disappoint.
Tinker's sexual favours provided to his patroness was the big twist I didn't quite see coming until it was there, and I didn't love that twist but the story still progressed well and had me wanting to find out what came next
