Overrated
It's a very rare occasion when I cannot finish a book. This was one of them. It would be an exaggeration to say that nothing happens in this book, so I'll just say that virtually nothing ever happens. And it KEEPS happening. You keep waiting and hoping for something to occur and 2/3rds of the way in, nothing did. Reader, I gave up. Just as the main character is a prisoner of the hotel, I felt like I was a prisoner of this novel. Is it well-written? Yes. The sentences are wonderful. Is it as boring as watching a closed door never open? YES.
