Kitabın bu baskısının sonunda ilanlı gibi açıklayıcı bir bölüm (yazardan mektuplar, yazışmalar) içermeyen bir baskıyı okuyanların kafası elbette karışacaktır diye düşünüyorum. Özellikle de edebî eserleri yorumlamaya alışık olmayanların.

Gregor'un işine ne olduğu da hiç daha sonra hiç bahsedilmedi, beni meraklandıran şeylerden biriydi bu. Kız kardeşinin de neden hızlı bir şekilde durum değiştirdiği de yeterince açıklanmadı, sadece bir okur olarak artık bıktığı şeklinde yorumlayabildim.

Çok güzel şeyler duyduğum bir kitaptı. Anlamı güzel fakat anlamı kitaptan çok da çıkarılamayan bir kitap. Bazı kitaplar vardır ya okura ne demeye çalıştığını adeta zorlatmadan hissettirir, bu öyle bir kitap değildi. Sonradan insanların yorumlarıyla "Aa, bu bunun için bir metaformuş." denecek bir kitaptı.
