Book Review of The Dinner

The Dinner
reviewed on + 215 more book reviews


Wow, what started off as a very slow book ended with a fantastic bang. 2 brothers and their wives head out for a family dinner at a very swanky restaurant to discuss the behavior of their children. The story is told through the eyes of Paul, who sees the world a tad bit differently. Paul's brother Serge, is running for Prime Minister of Holland. The whole restaurant 'show' is for Serge and his image. Once the meat of the story starts to develop the reader is allowed glimpses of the horrible act that the brother's children have committed. How will each family react to such act? How far will you go to protect your child? Wonderful, horrid, terrifying read. It is definitely going to be a lively book club discussion this month!
