Summer House with Swimming Pool by Herman Koch
3.0
Definitely not as good as the other books I've read of his, but still the same kinda weird psychotic stuff. The disgust that the Dr has for certain people is definitely a Koch thing.
You know pretty soon what's happened and how Ralph died, but then the whole story of how it came about is quite intriguing. Altho I have a few questions after finishing this, I feel like it didn't fully end for me...like... why didn't he get help for his daughter? and why did he feel like he needed to have that affair? I dunno, it was kind of weird and I couldn't decide if it was sexist or not. Definitely infuriating ideas, but that's why Koch is all about.
Totally unlikeable characters (which is definitely a Koch thing). Anyway, I still like him and would give another book a go!
