Noticing a trend here... Rostov is acquaintances with many people who work in the hotel, that are true masters of their trade. They each have their own distinct and remarkably related personalities. Author does a great job is bringing everyone to life and it just feels very authentic in a fanciful sort of way.

Alright, the book is jumping around far too much for my tastes. Jumps forward years at a time, and doesn't feel very realistic when characters meet after years apart...

I don't get it... while the writing is still top notch..the pacing of the novel goes haywire, and speeds up, years and years pass way way to quickly from chapter to chapter...loses the day to day feel of the book...very disappointing....

Well...this passes the "Trademark of a Good Book" test... made me do a dive into early 1900's Russia, the Bolshevik revolution and the coup against Tsarist regimie and the Prolitaret... I had never really focused on this area, but the setting of the book is written with such inspiring livery, I had to know more...

ha, the writing style reminds me of the clever and "proper" wit of Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell

Oh wow, this is really good so far... Maybe because I'm hot off the heals of two crap novels involving character development...
