A review by notbjork
The Dinner by Herman Koch

dark mysterious tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

In some ways, I felt this book disappointed me—but that may just be the bad taste the characters left in my mouth. I found the writing compelling, and I didn’t want to put this book down. A disturbing read, but enjoyable to experience it unfold.
