![]() ![]() The book does not suffer at all by not being what I expected I just have a habit of allowing my preconceptions to affect how I view something once I’ve finished it. It did not so much color my opinion as much as it just took me a while to grasp the concept that I was not reading a murder mystery. I tried not to let it color my opinion, as I am a huge fan of Mandel’s Station Eleven and have been very excited about this book since I picked it up at last year’s New York Comic Con. I assumed that it would be all about Vincent, what led to her falling off the boat and what happened after. I must confess that I was expecting this book to be more of a mystery. The Glass Hotel opens in near-present day, with Vincent – one of the main characters – falling from a boat. John Mandel has done it again with The Glass Hotel, an ethereal, meandering story about a group of people who are all connected – knowingly or unknowingly – as part of a massive Ponzi scheme. ![]()
