How May We Hate You Book Review




How May I Hate You by Anna Drezen and todd Dakotah Briscol

When I read the description of this book it sounded like it would be pretty funny!  I am sure that working as a concierge you would meet a ton of crazy people.  

Well, after starting to read it I found it a bit boring and gimmicky.  Granted, there was some stories that were pretty funny, but that was the problem.  There were only some stories.

The book felt very chopped up with a ton of boxed things like quizzes, word searches, erratic illustrations etc.  It made it a very difficult to read and to keep my interest.

In between the craziness were some pretty funny stories.  It would have been a much better book if they would have just kept to story telling.  

This is a 144 page read, if you can make it that far.  I had a hard time pushing myself to keep going,  I kept hoping it would get better. 

I don't feel that I could really recommend this book to my friends.  Better to check it out at the library so you don't feel bad skipping pages.

ABOUT HOW MAY WE HATE YOU?

Most people think hotel employees are effortlessly cheerful, naturally helpful, and genuinely like their work. 
 
Most people are wrong.
 
Find out what really goes on in the world of hospitality with this hilarious book full of funny and absurd stories, anecdotes told in dialogue, factoids, and hoax pop quizzes by two veteran concierges who paid their way while working at a combined 50 hotels in and around Times Square. They are very pleased to help you learn: 
·         The Truth About Bed Bugs
·         The Mythology of “Loyalty Programs”
·         The 411 on Hotel Residents
·         And so much more
 
Filled with photographs and infographics, How May We Hate You? is both romp and commentary on the hospitality industry and life behind the nametag.
