jmkizer 's review for:

The Dinner by Herman Koch
4.0

4+ stars. I'm not sure what to say about it without giving away the plot. I guess I'll talk about the structure of the book a bit. It's organized starting at ApƩritifs and continues to after dinner coffee. All of the action occurs during that night -- the protagonist does have flashbacks to explain some of the evening's drama. And it is dramatic. And shocking.

Some of said that it's similar to Gone Girl but I think that the similarity begins and ends with darkness.

This would be a good discussion book.
