Summer House with Swimming Pool
by Herman Koch
I feel like this book had what I thought The Dinner was lacking. This book had a consistent plot/story line that flowed from the beginning to the end in a clear fashion. It had the characters that you couldn't tell if you could trust, if you could even like them in the first place. It also included the suspense and mystery that The Dinner didn't really provide for me. I was shocked by the who-done it part of the plot. Now those were all the positives. The negative is that some points got dull. When he was explaining what it was like to be a doctor, it got a bit repetitive throughout the book. It made the story line start to drag. If the author just stuck to telling the story and not the inner workings of his mind, I think I would have preferred it better. The dull points are why I couldn't give this book 5 stars.
