A review by natalexx
Summer House with Swimming Pool by Herman Koch

3.0

Herman Koch is the Dutch Chuck Palahniuk. His prose reads like insight but inevitably portrays humanity as icky. Much like "The Dinner," this book slowly unrolls a tragedy. Much like "The Dinner," by the end no one seems innocent. I thought "The Dinner" was a masterpiece of writing but here it reads more like formula.
