 | Summer House with Swimming Pool by Herman Koch 387 pages What’s it about? This is a psychological thriller that centers on a doctor and his family. What did it make me think about? That I would never want the main character as my doctor! Should I read it? I did not enjoy this book. It had truly unlikable male characters and the whole thing just made you feel slimy…. It is a psychological thriller and I have to admit that the writing is good. Lots of twists and turns so it is easy to read. It was not for me but other people might enjoy it. Quote- I could not find anything to quote that did not bother me… Question? What did you like about this book? If you liked this book you might like- Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn The Dinner by Herman Koch 4 STARS |

A sad, poignant, mystical read. I won't give too much away. Quick and well worth it!
9 1/2 stars!
A coming of age story set in Mexico. It certainly gives you a whole new view of all the people coming over the border.
9 stars
Quirky characters and the story told through letters to Richard Gere. Who could ask for more? 9 stars
