"This is just maddeningly brilliant. At once sweeping and epic, and yet searingly personal, thanks to the incredible work of Peter O’Toole. It’s such a long film, which I love, and yet there’s not a moment in it that seems like it’s played too long. Everything from the rich orchestral score, to the extraordinary photography of F.A Young, and David Lean at the peak of his powers make this a timeless film, and one that remains, sadly, as relevant today as when it was shot. It’s about political and financial power and about the subjugation of a people, the fight for freedom and the power of the individual to make a stand against the imperial. All the performances are fantastic, from Sir Alec Guinness to Omar Sharif and on. Again, this feels like a perfect piece of cinema to me."

Amazing story about an owner of the hotel and his many adventures, poured through time as the story gets told by many characters through the years.

Very interesting storytelling, something I haven't encountered before, but loved it. If you know any movies that follow the same concept, I would love your suggestions.

We enter the life of a hotel management, a hotel that has a life of its own. We follow the owner and the lobby boy, as they try to solve a mystery regarding a rich and powerful woman, that gets murdered but has an interesting will.

These people embark on an adventure for truth, in times where everything seems to be against them.

I loved the cameos from so many popular actors, and also loved the dry humour. A very beautiful, intriguing and unique movie.

Such an interesting read. I have never really known how rich the people in Singapore really are until I read this book.
I have always thought that Singapore was beautiful and had amazing things, their airport is legendary as is the park in the sky.
It was a great introduction into how some Chinese families work, and how they are obsessed with finding the right match for their children, which doesn’t just mean a nice person, they have to come from a good family with money or they are looked down upon.
I also liked how Kevin Kwan used a lot of the phrases and words that would be used in real conversations and explained them in the footnotes so that it still seemed authentic while reading.
I would definitely love to carry on this series!
