The Glass Hotel by Emily St. John Mandel
4.0

4.5 stars
Another new to me author and a very interesting story.
Probably the first thing that I have to say it’s the writing! I just couldn’t stop reading. Honestly, I loved how the author managed to keep me touching my kindle screen every two minutes to read another page of this story.
The characters are so well done and I felt them more than imagining actually. It’s probably one of the very few authors who managed to do that to me, they are reliable to the extreme as in very real and with feelings and situations that can’t be denied.
The story itself is not a big gripping game that you won’t know what’s coming your way but the way it’s told hold more power than anything for me. Yes, it’s predictable but very interesting as well because it’s like a story told by an old friend about what happened to someone they knew.
The families or persons that will suffer from the scheme have their own moments of real-life and it’s a plus added to the script.
It’s my first book but it’s not going to be my last for sure.
