The Dream Hotel by Laila Lalami
4.0
dark mysterious reflective tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This novel explores the ever growing Kafkaesque reality that is tech companies and the  prison-industrial complex. While I really enjoyed the message and how the novel explores it themes, there were were times where the narrative felt like it was looping in on itself.
