Jim S. reviewed on 12/2/2011

You can tell this author really loves New York City and the dialogue is very snappy. I have to wonder why male authors find it so fascinating to speak from the female view and then not be able to carry it through because most males don't understand how women think and Mr. Towles misses that by a landslide. Too bad because it could have been a great story if he had continued with the storyline between the best friends who were women and not just the female-male relationships. Did women really contemplate Walden in 1938 or even 2011?
