etienne02 's review for:

The Ditch by Herman Koch
2.0

2,5/5. Can't say I like this one. It goes in every direction and just can,t focus on its narrative at all. it's unfortunate because the main characters has some issues that could have made him very interesting and the author has a decent writing and some opinion, that agree or not, could again have offer material for a good book. I might read another book from him, because reading review I notice that some of his fan didn't like this book much, so maybe there is something more in his other ones, and I can see the potential, it's right there, but the plot, the narrative focus just failed, it almost look like a first draft in some way, lot of good, but just lot of everything too, it could have use some cleaning into this messy garden.
