The Dinner (2009)

I couldn't decide between 3 and 4 stars, and then I read some of the negative reviews here, with which I agreed on many points, so settled on 3. The subject matter -- how far would you go to protect your child from the consequences of his own actions -- has been done before. Defending Jacob, Befo...

Summer House with Swimming Pool (2014)

Kock hit it big last year with "The Dinner", which I liked better than this book. Marc is a doctor, a G.P. He is married to a beautiful woman, Caroline and has 2 daughters, ages 11 and 13. They spend part of the summer at the house of a famous actor, who Marc thinks makes advances towards his wif...

Zomerhuis met zwembad (2011)

Bijzonder onderhoudend en vlot leesbaar boek. De schrijver heeft een mooie beeldende stijl en is bij tijd en wijle zelfs filmisch. Tijdens het lezen kreeg ik hele duidelijke voorstellingen van situaties en omgevingen. Dat is toch een bijzonder talent. Het relaas verhaalt over een cynische, arroga...

Casa de verano con piscina (2012)

More creepy than it at first seems. The main character is a bastard – in a sociopath/psychopath kind of way. He’s a doctor and he kills one of his patients. You know he did it deliberately – and most of the book is explaining why and how. This book explores the interpersonal relationships between...

Sommerhaus mit Swimmingpool (2012)

Dr. Marc Schlosser really doesn't like his patients very much. He has little patience for their tribulations, and is easily repulsed by their bodily functions. Marc, his wife and two teenaged daughters are invited to vacation at one of his patient's summer homes. The patient is the actor Ralp...

Het diner (2009)

As I said in the thread on this book - I don't really know what to think of it... I found it sort of fascinating but obviously also sickening/disturbing. I think it may be a hyperbole of a common malaise of our society... getting filled with RAGE at small things (the waiter pointing with his pink...

Sehr geehrter Herr M (2000)

Voorgelezen door Kees Hulst vond ik het een spannend boek. Koch kan heerlijk vals zijn. Over middelbare schooldocenten werd weinig goeds gezegd. De hardheid van de pubers zette me aan het denken over mijn eigen studenten. Niets ontziend commentaar over hun leraren vond ik af en toe best moeilijk ...

Dear Mr. M (2016)

M M opens the front door of his apartment house and takes the elevator up. As he passes the third floor, he can’t suppress a smile. “Who was that you were talking to, there at the end,” his publisher had asked in the café. “Oh, just some fellow,” M replied. “Just someone who wanted to know how yo...
