I enjoyed this book and read it relatively fast for a longer novel. It is definitely me least favorite of Towle’s three books. I found the character we spend the most time with — Emmett, to be the most boring and therefore doesn’t lend itself to Toe’s fun writing style. I do love the way Towle’s writes though, and think he is able to keep a journey and even the more mundane actions of a character really exciting. There are some fun tropes and metaphors. This was a delightful read. Not the best thing I’ve ever read, but a solid novel from a solid author who is still one of my favorites. I wish we spent more time with some of the female characters.
