SUMMER HOUSE WITH SWIMMING POOL by Herman Koch




I made it through 100 pages of this book before deciding I didn’t like any of the characters and I truly didn’t care if Ralph was murdered or it was just a horrible mistake.  Marc, the doctor who made the mistake or committed the murder, was an especially unlikeable person. He was selfish and narcissistic to the extreme.  Ralph wasn’t much better. They were both lecherous towards the other’s wife within minutes of meeting (apparently not an unusual happening). 

There was supposed to be humor somewhere in this book, but it hadn’t occurred by page 100 (out of 385).  Marc didn’t like camping and I didn’t like Marc so I guess we are even.  

Skip this one.
