A review by chelseatm
Dear Mr. M by Herman Koch
2.0
I was very excited for this book as I've loved his novels in the past but I was very disappointed.
It was almost self-congratulatory in its mehta-ness and rambled unnecessarily in some exceedingly pretentious proses. Koch is a strong writer but he was much too aware of that fact.
By the end of the novel, I was indifferent to the mystery's solution. Rather, I was just ready to stop feeling like I was sitting in the company of self-aggrandizing teeangaers intent on making me feel small and stupid.
I'd rather just reread The Dinner, thank you.
