A review by emily1602
The Third Hotel by Laura van den Berg

Liked a lot of things is this book. Long scenes in airplanes and stumbling upon odd happenings in old city streets. Street names in Spanish. Low budget horror movies. Unreality. People coming back from the dead. A protagonist with an inexplicable desire to eat inedible things (a stranger's clipped fingernail, a hotel mural). All the things I liked in this book were in the first half. Its not as if the book changed half way through but for some reason I stopped finding things I liked.
