Product Description

From AudioFile

"Predictable" and "formulaic" aptly describe this Arthur Hailey novel, which follow a cast of characters whose loves and lives converge at the luxurious St. Gregory Hotel in New Orleans. Yet through skillful abridgment and Victor Garber's ability to depict characters with various accents, this fast-paced audiobook is quite enjoyable. It would make great listening for a long trip. A.A.B. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.

Ingram

During five days in the midst of a hot, steamy Louisiana summer, the lives of a colorful cast of characters intertwine in a series of public, private, and personal dramas at the famed St. Gregory luxury hotel. Book available. --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.

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).

5.0�toiles sur 5 Hotel: Surprising complex and thought provoking, F�v 8 2004

Par	Sarah Sammis "Avid BookCrosser" (Hayward, CA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires (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.
