Críticas:

"Vlautin's coiled, poetically matter-of-fact prose calls to mind S.E.Hinton."--Publishers Weekly

"If there's any justice, anywhere, The Motel Life will be widely read and widely admired."--Booklist

"Both heartbreaking and inspirational...written...with a simple hypnotic tone that seems as if it was grown in the Reno heat."--Associated Press ASAP

"Slighter than Carver, less puerile than Bukowski, Vlautin...manages to lay claim to the same blearyeyed territory, and...to make it new."--New York Times Book Review, EDITOR'S CHOICE

"A natural for the bigscreen and in fact Babel and 21 Grams writer Guillermo Arriaga has bought the film rights..."--Salt Lake City Tribune

"The furthest Vlautin's men can move is in circles, shackled to their dysfunctions and their meager paychecks..."--San Francisco Weekly

"I'm floored...This book feel so damn real, so powerful, so much like life, even if it's not yours."--Jonathan Zwickel, The Stranger

Reseña del editor:

With "echoes of Of Mice and Men"(The Bookseller, UK), The Motel Life explores the frustrations and failed dreams of two Nevada brothers—on the run after a hit-and-run accident—who, forgotten by society, and short on luck and hope, desperately cling to the edge of modern life.
