Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Hotel Kid is the story of the Lewis Family and the hotel Mr. Lewis managed back in the golden days of Times Square.
Living in a two room apartment might not have been that uncommon for many New York children but few of them also ate only room service or signed for snacks in the resturaunt in the lobby. It is an interesting tale about life in a gilded age now gone.
More than just the logistics of Steven Lewis' life were uniqe. He was more than just a kid hanging around the hotel. He was the Crown Prince of place as well. The most telling parts of the book reveal how he came to understand the borrowed athority he possesed or how even a child he could make the adults nervous. When a strike at the hotel pits managment and staff against each other you see the conflicting loyalites of the author. Scion of the boss he was still a friend to many on the picket line.
This book was an enjoyable read about a time so far away and yet not really that long ago. It was a quick read and well worth the time it took.
