Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee

We all agreed, at last, that this book was a masterpiece.

Such a conclusion seldom happens. Coetzee is indeed a true master of storytelling. The storyline was very well crafted and believable, and the characters were all well developed.

Coetzee cleverly left us with much to think about, both while we were reading the book and after we had finished it.

The group felt that this was a chilling read. An excellent book, but not for those looking for a light read.

Our rating 5 of 5
