Translation of magic in German

I entered yet another suite. This one had a living room, a kitchen, two bathrooms and a huge sleeping room. The view was excellent, overlooking one of Saigon's largest and most impressive boulevards.
The cafe was not cheap but the food was quite special. In the back there was a travel agency, again not the cheapest one but they made a very reliable impression and that is why we booked with them.
I guess it is a very interesting book, but I did not entirely understand it. What did the author try to say, what message did he want to deliver? Do you want that I recommend another book?
