This book was a treat to read because it was entertaining AND challenging. The story is a swashbuckling adventure with laugh out loud scenes, but unlike so much modern fiction, I couldn't "skim" to get the gist and move on. This book required me to reread sometimes to make sure I was following the correct meaning and other times just because I relished the sentence structure, vocabulary, and meaning so much, I just wanted to read it again. As soon as I finished it, I started it again, and enjoyed it just as much.

Gentleman of the Road is swashbucklng fun. I particularly relished Chabon's elegant language and flowing sentences to elaborate his intelligent and witty tale.

A young man who was boxing my items at Costco told me this was his all time favorite holiday story, so I decided to read it to see if my students would like it. It's a really good story with the idea that special times are special because they don't happen every day, and even a kid can overcome immediate gratification and fear in order to hold out for the joy found in just living eveyday.
