A review by thecreature
The Dinner by Herman Koch

fast-paced

• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

Certainly the kind of book that makes you think “what the hell is wrong with these people?” about the characters, and maybe about the author too. Very similar energy to We Need to Talk About Kevin.
