The Dinner | Herman Koch

This book was added to my TBR when I came across it in a list of must reads. It's marketed as a phenomenal thriller of the year....did I read the same book?! Either that or it went way over my head. I didn't like any part of it, the characters, the disregard the boys and the parents had for the victim....I kept reading it hoping it would get better...but it wasn't my cup of tea. #hermankoch #thedinner #tea_sipping_bookworm #bookstagram #bookqueen

Working full time with three kids and working towards my degree part time is seriously hampering my reading time. #currentlyreading #roadtrip #thedinner #hermankoch

Hey everyone! Be sure to check out @MinDea ‘s page tomorrow at 10 am PST / 1 pm EST for her monthly #BooktoScreen discussion. #TheDinner by #HermanKoch

As a guest host this month, I will be helping @MinDea facilitate the discussion as much as possible, but unfortunately a big case I‘m working on did not settle today like I had hoped, so I have to go into work tomorrow mid morning to continue preparing for a January 3rd trial.

Cinfhen Good luck💚 6y
Jess7 Thank you @Cinfhen - There are two partners sitting first and second chair on it. I‘m just one of two attorneys helping them prep them for it. I‘m still holding out hope that it settles so I can have my weekend back. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 (edited) 6y
Cinfhen My hubby is an attorney~ so I know how these cases play out 🙄#nervewrecking 6y
Pamwurtzler Fingers crossed @Jess7 ! I hope you get your day back! 6y
Jess7 Thanks all! It didn‘t settle unfortunately, but after working all day, we were able to continue the trial in light of ongoing settlement negotiations... so there‘s that at least! I shouldn‘t have to go into work tomorrow. :-) that‘s a plus! @Cinfhen and @Pamwurtzler - I responded to all of the discussion questions a little late, but they‘re there now :-) (edited) 6y

Don't forget #TheDinner discussion is tomorrow at 10am pst/ 1 pm est! I know a lot of people did not like this book but I hope you all will participate and discuss it. I think we can still have a really good discussion!

@Jess7 and I have the questions all ready and I think they will be great for discussing it.

#BookToScreen #Discussion

Ashley85 Have you seen the movie? I have it on my Netflix list and was wondering if I should skip the book and go straight to the movie 😏 6y
cathysaid I liked the book! Pretty twisted...from what I can remember, anyway. (Read it many months ago 😳.) 6y
MinDea @Ashley85 The movie is not great. Unfortunately I think the book is better, however I had a hard time with it, but the movie changes a lot and is much faster paced and doesn't get some of the major things across that the book does... 6y

MinDea @ashley85, imho I would say skip both... 🤔 6y

Have you read #TheDinner by #HermanKoch? If not, add it to your December #TBR and watch the #movie adaption because this story needs to be discussed! If you have, be sure to join in! I loved this book and I will be guest hosting this month‘s #BOOKTOSCREEN discussion with @MinDea - I cannot wait! This book will force you to answer the question: How far would you go to protect your children? #Family #Quotable #dark #BookDiscussion #ReadThisNow

“The principal was probably against global warming & injustice in general. Perhaps he didn‘t eat the flesh of mammals & was anti-American or, in any case, anti-Bush: the latter stance gave people carte blanche not to think about anything anymore. Anyone who was against Bush had his heart in the right place and could behave like a boorish asshole toward anyone around him.”🤣#thedinner #booktoscreen Kindle book so here‘s our pink & white stockings!

dylanisreading I read this a few years ago and really liked it. 6y
Blaire I liked it in the sense of it giving me a lot to think about, but it is disturbing and so not exactly an enjoyable read but one id recommend. 6y
RebelReader I agree with @Blaire even though I read it several years ago. I see the movie is on Netflix now so I want to watch it. It will be interesting to see how it compares to the novel. 6y
Jprglisa I found it hard to get into because the main plot isn‘t revealed until way too late in my opinion. I liked the last quarter of it though!!! Haven‘t watched the movie yet. 6y
Jinjer Ohhhh I didn't know about this #booktoscreen! How do we play???? 6y
MinDea @Jinjer just have to read and/or see the movie during December. I post questions (some about the book and others about the movie with book related questions) the last day of the month! Hope you can get the book and join the discussion! 6y
AceOnRoam I had it out on loan but it expired before I got a chance to read it (hides face in shame). 6y
Jinjer Awesome! I just downloaded it from the LA Public Library!!!! Please set a place for me at The Dinner table!🍽 6y
