Okay I will not pretend that I understood this book completely. It was very short, and therefore easy to get through, but there were some parts that made me feel ill (I don't like bugs). Anyway, I might reread with notes and attempt to understand it.

 The metamorphosis was honestly quite interesting. I was very intrigued to see how it played out and it had quite a satisfying ending ... It was short but well-paced. It left me in wonder and it really made me think about how people (especially those who love you most) find it very difficult to accept you might be very sick (mentally or physically) this book is a blown-up exaggerated version of a very interesting real occurrence/ idea. I have it two stars because I think there was not quite enough plot of enough substance to carry this on.
