You read the two hotel francforts?? How was it? It has been on my reserve list for months.
I thought Two Hotel Francforts was just all right, nothing great. I’d read some of Leavitt’s earlier books many years ago that I thought were better; with Two Hotel Francforts just when it gets going it suddenly stops and everything else feels like an afterthought, unfortunately.
