The Hotel New Hampshire

The book balances humor with tragedy in a way that feels unique. Did the tone make the heavy topics more approachable or did it sometimes feel jarring?

Many characters seem to chase idealistic visions that are dashed by life's unpredictability. Did this tension resonate strongly or feel repetitive?

The hotel feels like a character itself, embodying both chaos and comfort. I wonder what led to this particular setting and its significance.
