Instruction:
Write a review of Amor Towles's book, A Gentleman in Moscow

Response:
Fantastic book.

While the Count can be an arrogant aristocrat, he certainly can get up to a lot of trouble in 30 years of staying in the hotel metropol. I loved Towles's style - the vignettes built up a lot of character and compassion for the Count and the friends he made, and really made me vested in the ending sequence.

Lots of cultural, historical, and artistic references. If you are savvy, this will be an excellent read.
