Reginald Edward Morse is a man in need of an outlet. & he finds it in a very twenty-first century place: the internet. Specifically, Rate Your Lodging.com, where Americans go to find out the truth about hotels, motels &, horrors, bed & breakfasts. But the real joy of those sites is not so much the advice they offer, but the people who offer it. Reginald Edward Morse is one of those people. At first Morse seems exactly what you`d suspect a reviewer to be, though under the authoritative, even puffed-up tone, there lurks self-awareness, wit & a flair for anecdote.

Always funny, unexpectedly tragic, this is a book of lonely rooms, long lists, of strong opinion & quiet confession, by one of America`s greatest novelists. ...
