5.0 out of 5 stars Hotel: Surprising complex and thought provoking, February 8, 2004

Sarah Sammis "Avid BookCrosser" (Hayward, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Hotel (Paperback)

Wow! I was not expecting this book to be so rich in detail, context, theme and character development. On one level it's just a very descriptive outline of 5 days in the life of a luxury hotel in New Orleans in the early 1960s. Hotel also takes a critical stance in the civil rights issues of the era. Through carefully crafted characters, it comes out pro-desegregation but does it without wielding a heavy hand. Then at the individual characters and vignettes, the book is about karma and how little decissions can add up to either good things happening or extremely bad things happening.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing! One of the best books I have ever read!, October 11, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Hotel (Simple English) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is Arthur Hailey at the top of his form. I have never read a book that was so engrossing with characters with such great development. The plot never stops going, right until the very end. The plot twists were ones I never thought of. I love this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good stories never seem to get dated, March 27, 2001

Brian Wochele (Oconomowoc, WI United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hotel (Paperback)

I was attracted to this book after I seeing it on the shelf (while looking for Alex Haley's "Roots") and reading the forward. The development of the intertwining plots held me for the length of the book and reading the last 30 pages left me with a feeling of a job well done (both for me and the author).
