drewsof 's review for:
Summer House with Swimming Pool
by Herman Koch
1.5 out of 5. In the end, this was the theme of the book: it was just unnecessary. It's an unnecessary addition to the canon of unreliable narrators, an unworthy follow-up to The Dinner, and does absolutely nothing new and/or interesting. The characters are not only unlikable, they are uninteresting. They are repugnant or annoying or both. The plot hinges on several moments of utter ridiculousness - and it nearly made me pass out on the train and not in a way that felt earned. Honestly, I think less of The Dinner having now read this book.
