Actually it is one of my favorite listens because I heard it on Audible while traveling and was enchanted with Towles writing. He paints a magical, exciting world inside the famous old Metropol hotel in Moscow after the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. How can the plot telling the story of a man imprisoned in an old hotel be so deeply entertaining and exciting? Read it and see.
