A review by lucsbooks
The Club by Takis Würger

5.0

The first chapter in this book is extremely lyrical and poetic, so much so that I did not see the rest of the story unraveling the way it did but I loved every word. This book is about several themes: isolation, privilege, entitlement, and toxic masculinity are some of them. This book reads like a study in loneliness and how those who were raised believing that they can do anything feel above the law. Throughout much of the book, the reader will feel like everyone knows more than the main character and them and I found the way how certain scenes that we know happened between two chapters are only referred by the characters instead of being in th book was extremely interesting.
I loved everything in this novel from the characters that were well developed and were like anyone I had ever read about but still feeling like everyone you see in the news and even meet to the pace of the story.
I'm looking forward to whatever Takis Wurger writes next and for the movie, whenever they decide to adapt this novel to the big screen.
Thank you to Net Galley and Grove Press for this ARC.
