A review by oxnard_montalvo
Summer House with Swimming Pool by Herman Koch
2.0
Don't read this expecting to find characters you'll like- everyone in this novel is vile. Another page turner from Herman Koch, and another that fails to deliver in some respects. It's not a book that's big on flowery descriptions or introspection, more of react and reaction kind of read.
Another with an eye to the screenplay. I think the Dinner was a more accomplished and less bloated book, and that the characters were more clearly realised as well.
*this was another uncorrected proof I read. Also, I just wanted to clarify that I didn't give the book two stars because the characters are unlikable; more on the strengths of the story on writing.
