leo2virgo 's review for:
Summer House with Swimming Pool
by Herman Koch
A totally plausible & confronting tale that challenges your thinking in an ethical decision-making context.
Hard to get into at first because (a) the topics are a bit ick and (b) the main character also has icky traits (but this is required to establish the direction of the plot). I had to put the book down a few times and walk away from it during the first half but then the 2nd half became compelling reading.
If you like a book that considers ethical issues (like The Slap) then give this one a whirl. If you don't like confronting literature, steer well clear.
