liisae 's review for:

Summer House with Swimming Pool by Herman Koch, Sam Garrett

5.0

---

Herman Koch's laid back yet suspenseful prose is so attractive to me as a reader. All of his characters are brilliantly constructed--complex and questionable--which only adds to the depth of the moral and ethical questions his novels pose. While his books are brilliant and exciting to read, I can understand how they might not be for everyone. However, being able to explore them for days and talk about them for hours is, I think, the sign of a truly great book.
