The Hotel at the End of Time

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I tried really hard to like this book. There were some interesting ideas here, but there did not seem to be much of a story around them.

I think the author was trying for humour in the story, but the unnecessary violence at the start of the book cancelled out any attempt at humour that I found.

The characters in the story were, in a word, characterless. Apart from Vain who was intensely irritating; perhaps that was the intention.

The plot was so flat and vapid as to be almost nonexistent. I struggled to read the book, but finally got to the ending, which was anticlimactic.

In summary, I have read many great SF and Fantasy books over the years and this isn't one of them. It's not the worst I've read, but close to it. 2* for effort.
