Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The loopy style wore thin toward the end, but Ted's mix of dark-minded cynicism and only-a-young-guy innocence was so realistic I had to find out what happened to him.The story seemed to get away from Ted, making for aslightly disappointing ending, but the first half of the book was verysharp.A good read simply for Ted's funny and consistent narration.

Product Description:
Quick, deft, funny, and fresh, with some of the best dialogue and the best narration since Nick Hornby's High Fidelity."" - Kirkus Reviews (Starred review) ""A slangy, tangy first novel from Britain.... What takes center stage is the driving, driven narrative voice."" - Time Magazine.A dark, humorous novel centering around a seedy backstreet hotel, racism, and nefarious goings-on. Ted Hamilton's new job as a night porter at the down-at-the-heels Eagle Hotel in Liverpool, England, propels him into a world of seedy nocturnal goings-on, peopled by bizarre characters.These range from the pompous and near-efficient Mr. Butterthwaite to bigoted old soldier Henry, via Claudia the harassed chambermaid and Alf Speed, a moving man with a weakness for uninvited naps in strange beds. But it soon becomes apparent that something sinister is lurking beneath the surface.
