I had completed this Fiction Book a few months back. Its personal review has been on my cards since a good time.
However, one or the other thing kept coming up.
That's why it is delayed.
Anyways, back to the book.
'The Lincoln Highway' is a story of two brothers and their two friends in the time only some years after the WWII.
They are connected by circumstances. Each has a different socio-economic background & different struggles but they hop on together on a common journey.
There are adventures, some misadventures and its all so exciting and gripping.
The End is a bit of an anti-climax and not something that I liked.
Yet, it could be a literary style of the author.
Overall, a must read for both serious and not so serious book readers.
Feedback invited !

I ordered most through the Amazon India site.
You might also have a country specific Amazon site available for you.

Well at times we like most parts of a book. Yet there is something that makes us differ from what the Author has to offer.
It's a good and I would rather say, a must read one!

I normally read other genres of books, but in some ways this book has expanded my horizon.
I do recommend reading this one.

Oh you have been doing greatly on the literary front.
I did post a few fiction stories here and there.
However, my literary sojourns have kind of stopped during the past 4.5 years due to various reasons!

In this case, I suspect the author might want to write a Sequel and wants to keep audience puzzled.
Or may be it's his style that makes him do so.

I think many authors these days bring out Trilogies or Multiple series.
Some write with a movie story in mind.

May be you have been reading a lot and working very hard?
Or due to Diet or outside pollution?
