A Gentleman in Moscow
Can’t finish it! 2/3 if the way through, I give up.
Sure the writing is wonderful, but for me, that’s not enough. I would like to see a plot. Still have not found it. I’m done.

Disappointing
I had high hopes for this, but found myself unable to finish it. Perhaps it is the coincidence of Rostov's imprisonment and the isolation of COVID-19. I was struck by the Rostov's deciding to read a book he previously found impenetrable just because he was imprisoned, but unlike some reviewers, that wasn't enough to keep me going.
