A review by peppypenguin
Dear Mr. M by Herman Koch

3.0

There's a lot that was absolutely brilliant, and I'm glad to have given this a read. However, I feel the story dragged, was a little overly complicated in the sense that the way it was structured didn't add to the story, and I was actually quite dissatisfied with the ending. The author in a sense breaks the 4th wall by commenting on writing and the nature of novels, so I suppose in that sense this and the lack of finality with some of the characters was part of making that point... Overall it was interesting , but I wouldn't recommend it to my friends.
