Thirty-one years after workers first broke ground, the magnificent Hotel Neversink in the Catskills finally opens to the public. Then a young boy disappears. This mysterious vanishing-and the ones that follow-will brand the lives of three generations over the course of this novel. At the root of it all is Asher Sikorky, the ambitious and ruthless patriarch whose purchase of the hotel in 1931 set a haunting legacy into motion. His daughter Jeanie sees the Hotel Neversink into its most lucrative era, but also its darkest. Decades later, Asher's grandchildren grapple with the family's heritage in their own ways: Len fights to keep the failing, dilapidated hotel alive, and Alice sets out to finally uncover the murderer's identity. Told by an unforgettable chorus of Sikorsky family members-a matriarch, a hotel maid, a traveling comedian, the hotel detective, and many others-The Hotel Neversink is the gripping portrait of a Jewish family in the Catskills over the course of a century. With an unerring eye and with prose both comic and tragic, Adam O'Fallon Price details one man's struggle for greatness, no matter the cost, and a long-held family secret that threatens to undo it all.… (más)

Disappointing, and entirely because the writing was so dull and thoughtless. The book is full of tell-don't-show problems, lazy sentences, and modern anachronisms that I don't think are there wittingly. But beyond that, it lacks the snap and sparkle, the sheer joy of using language, that would have kept this complex story moving — I felt like I was being shoved from scene to scene, versus being led along by my own curiosity and enjoyment. I can tell that the writer liked his people and his plot; he just didn't have the tools (or the time) to convey that excitement in language. ( )

The story is put together well and progresses at a pretty consistent pace. However, it is fundamentally, with few exceptions, a depressing story with depressing characters. The end is unexpected, but not really very fulfilling.

If you like stories of family drama with lots of angst and a healthy scoop of despair, you will enjoy this book. ( )
