The Grand Hotel: A Novel

De: Scott Kenemore

Narrado por: Christian Rummel

Welcome to the hotel where nobody checks out. When a desk clerk welcomes a group of tourists into his mysterious and crumbling hotel, the last thing he expects is that a lone girl on his tour may hold the power to unravel the hidden mystery that has lain for untold centuries within the structure’s walls. The Grand Hotel is a horror novel by esteemed best-selling author Scott Kenemore (Zombie, Ohio) that takes the reader on a thrilling ride through an interconnected series of stories narrated by the desk clerk and the residents of the hotel itself. And while it is not known whether or not the desk clerk is actually the devil incarnate, it is strange that so many visitors who come for a tour of the hotel have a way of never leaving. As the narrator takes you deeper and deeper into the heart of the hotel, secrets that have been hiding for aeons begin to show themselves. Although he is quite prepared for this experience, there is some question as to whether or not the rest of the world shares this readiness. Kenemore's incredible style and originality carry The Grand Hotel to places most people only see in their nightmares. And while we don’t know all of the secrets that lie within the Grand Hotel, we know that the person who does hold that knowledge puts fear into the narrator himself - a thought that ought to terrify everyone.

Gosh Darn Good Book

I must admit, I was fooled all the way until the end. I thought a theme was emerging, there was, I was just wrong as to what it was. Some of the words used, were (in my humble opinion) misplaced/misused. However, this in no way diminishes the powerful pull of this book.

I seriously thought I knew what was going to happen to the tour group. Gosh Darn, blindsided is all I can say. Finally, I found myself a defacto member of the tour. I wanted to visit the next location, just to hear the next story.

Before I forget, Christian Rummel is an excellent narrator. I swear, at times I thought someone else was narrating

A Dark Delight

I fully enjoyed the experience of this book. The narrator is wonderfully talented with using different voices for the characters. I felt immersed in this creepy old hotel and these weird but delightful creepy stories. Bravo!

Strange story comes alive with narrator

What a great narrator!! He made the story mysterious with a creep factor, which drew me in. I loved the authors writing and choice of words. This writing styles unique and clever. The story is hauntingly good!!

Great story.

I don’t really expect it to be as good as it was. It was suspenseful and I finished it in one shift at work. Loved it.

Long road to the payoff

This is a great book for readers who really liked House of Leaves, or The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle - or the Tales of the Arabian Nights.

It’s not a novel so much as a collection of shorter tales with a purpose that’s revealed only in the final chapter.

Personally, I found it pretty tedious, but I think that had a lot to do with thinking this was a novel (as the title insists) and wanting it to start making sense in a cohesive manner. It doesn’t do that until the last chapter, so go into it expecting that.

Not my favorite, but it might be yours. It’s well written, and well narrated.

It has potential

The narrator did a great job in telling the story.

The story itself has the potential to be great but loses you along the way. The ending could be better but it leaves you wanting. It's really all about the build up. If the author had tied in the stories better, it would have been great.

Multi-story excellence

Creepy, fascinating, twists & turns. MANY clever stories in the main story. Narrator is great. Long listen but more than worth it.

Totally Shocking Ending!

I was really entranced by the stories in this book but the ending was absolutely shocking!
