this book is a hard one to review.

i expected something different from it, i wanted more of this strange glas hotel and less of the weird characters and the constant switch between characters and times.

i didn’t really understand why we needed half of the characters we get view points from because they bring absolutely nothing to the story overall, no new interesting view at a character or a different view at what’s happening.

i enjoyed the slow moving and slightly derivative story telling and writing well enough but i think the book still lacked a lot. it had too little actually interesting moments to carry the writing and how the story was told.

maybe that is because i wanted more from the things that where only glazed over.
i would have loved getting more set in the hotel itself, learning more about working at such a place in the middle of nowhere.
or i would have liked to actually get a real view into how ponzey Schemas works. how do you do it? how does such a thing work? do you literary just talk people into giving you their money and you spend it? how come nobody would notice that?
i would have loved learning more of that.
but we just get those very few mentions of that it’s happing and then that’s over and how people that lost money react to it.
didn’t work for me.
i wanted more details!

also i didn’t enjoy how vincent’s story ended. i just don’t.

i can see that people enjoy this book and i guess i scan see that it’s not a bad book.
but i also think it tried too many different angles instead of focusing on something and it was too much and because of that didn’t do any of it well.

but i am clearly in the minority with that option.
