    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 small decissions can add up to either excellent equipment experience or extremely terrible equipment experience.

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

    I was attracted to this book after I seeing it on the shelf (while looking for Alex Haley’s “Roots”) and reading the forwards. 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).

    One fantastic thing about Hailey’s writing stylishness is that it keeps you engaged right through the book. You’ll never feel bored at any instance. His research is awesome. ‘Hotel’ is one such book. Got this immediately after I read ‘Airport’. ‘Hotel’ was an impulsive page turner packed with surprises right from beginning to the end. Just go for it!

    For fans of books and the tv show LOST on abc. This is a very vivid, incredible book. Hotel weaves many tales collectively with an ending that will knock your socks off. Like Airport(and many other Hailey books), the last hundred pages will have your heart racing and your blood pressure rising. GREAT book
