Re: hotel in Budapest

Kempinski or Le Meridian. I've stayed in both of these in Budapest - Kempinski being the better of the 2.

Re: Good book

After reading all 3 of them one after another I too got a bit bored with parts of them. Personally I don't think they live up to the hype. Good books but not great books IMHO.
