The Dinner by Herman Koch

4.0

This book. It's start off slow as you get to know the characters, primarily the narrator. As they get further into the dinner, you become aware of more problems that exist between the couples than what is obvious. Also, their teenage sons are some messed up kids. The last 20 or so pages of this just killed me. I did not see that coming in the slightest. But I definitely enjoyed the book more than I thought I would, especially because of how slow it started. Get past those slower chapters because it starts to build and all the things he told you at the beginning become extremely important. Overall, this is a messed up family but a great book to read.
