A review by unclebeef
The Dinner by Herman Koch

challenging dark mysterious reflective tense slow-paced

2.5

I really don’t know what I think about this rating wise. It could be a 2?? It could be a 3.5?? Idk. The characters are horrible people but that’s what makes it interesting? So much nothing happens. But in the little details there’s so much to unpack. 

I definitely think this would make a good bookclub book. You could sit and pick this apart for hours. 

Don’t get your hopes up that the reveal will be mind blowing. It’s definitely dark and it’s wild. But I wouldn’t call it the most shocking thing ever.
