Chapter 1: Section 5: Page 40: Line 118 (700)

 By the time he tracked down the bellhop again, the ice had all melted.

Yeah, well what the fuck did Hershel expect?! If you ask somebody to fetch you some ice, don't tell them, "I'll be somewhere completely random in this maze-like hotel, you dumb son of a bitch."

I'm sure Lew's failure at this task will be painted as a moral failing, like he's just not trying hard enough or he's unwilling to change.

I know there are always way more than two of a thing whenever somebody says "There are two kinds of X," but I'm going to say it anyway but with a slight mathematical modification so that it isn't as in-your-face stupid as it sounds: There are at least two kinds of readers: those who read about a community of kind individuals trying to help a stranger and think, "If only the real world were like this!" and those who read about a community of kind individuals trying to help a stranger and think, "This is how cannibals act."

I think you know which paranoid choice I am.
