Chrissie is eight and she has a secret: she has just killed a boy. The feeling made her belly fizz like soda pop. Her playmates are tearful and their mothers are terrified, keeping them locked indoors. But Chrissie rules the roost - she's the best at wall-walking, she knows how to get free candy, and now she has a feeling of power that she never gets at home, where food is scarce and attention scarcer.

Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The darkly suspenseful tale of two families struggling to make the hardest decision of their lives—all over the course of one meal. Now a major motion picture.
“Chilling, nasty, smart, shocking, and unputdownable.”—Gillian Flynn, author of Gone Girl
It’s a summer’s evening in Amsterdam, and two couples meet at a fashionable restaurant for dinner. Between mouthfuls of food and over the polite scrapings of cutlery, the conversation remains a gentle hum of polite discourse—the banality of work, the triviality of the holidays. But behind the empty words, terrible things need to be said, and with every forced smile and every new course, the knives are being sharpened. Each couple has a fifteen-year-old son. The two boys are united by their accountability for a single horrific act—an act that has triggered a police investigation and shattered the comfortable, insulated worlds of their families.
As the dinner reaches its culinary climax, the conversation finally touches on their children. As civility and friendship disintegrate, each couple shows just how far they are prepared to go to protect those they love.
Tautly written, incredibly gripping, and told by an unforgettable narrator, The Dinner promises to be the topic of countless dinner party debates. Skewering everything from parenting values to pretentious menus to political convictions, this novel reveals the dark side of genteel society and asks what each of us would do in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

First amusing then surprising
The novel is about a man, his wife, brother and sister-in-law having dinner at an expensive restaurant. The books is laid out as parts of the meal. Appetizer, main course, desert etc. The story is told from the man's point of view as a first person narrative, including his thoughts and observations, rather than just a recitation of facts. He is what is called the compromised narrator as his feelings and opinions colour his version of the tale. As the meal progresses , flashbacks are included.
I found the beginning very amusing, and while the book is written and has the point of view of somebody from the Netherlands, the wry wit and perfromer's accent made it very much feel like this could have been written by somebody from England as well. Particularly the bits about owning vacation homes in France. The second half of the novel takes a very dark and unexpected turn. I don't want to give anything away so I won't go into the happenings. I did enjoy the book, the style the story and the performance were all very good.

Just... Not my Cup of Tea.
I really struggled getting through this. The accent got really annoying as well as his younger brother. Doing things just to annoy Serg but never just leaving or doing what he wants. 🙄 I didnt finish the book. It's your choice, but if you like dry, repetitive, sarcastic humour this might be for you.

A good story teller
The story started with Paul’s belly-aching about the dinner he and his wife were going to have with his brother Serge and Serge’s wife Babette. They had things to discuss. It sounded even like a mundane household story. But as events unfolded and the back story slowly emerged, things started to look unsettling. And then it got worse.
Herman Koch is a master storyteller.

The dark side
How an average dinner can turn dark. I bought this book because I thought it would be good back ground listening. Something to listen to while doing other things. This story took over my day. I was pulled into it and couldn't get out!

Interesting read. Many drawn out parts that got a little hard to stay invested at times. I listened at 1.7x speed which helped lol.

Brilliant and All the better in its first person form.
A delightfully dark near-monologue read by a narrator on the top of his game with nuance, irony and pathos. The Dinner takes us on a journey from innocence to evil. Along the way it tricks us into examining our own darker sides.
