J'ai adoré ! surtout parceque malgré que le livre soit plutôt court on peux l'enrichir a l'aide de théories, sur les origines et impact de cette métamorphose, ou de la façon de l'interpréterblattprinzessin's review against another edition

I just know I'll be thinking about this one years from now. Partially because insects are my greatest fear, but also what an absurd and horrifying concept. Reading this felt like a detailed, long nightmare you wake up from at 4 am and can't go back to sleep after.

let me first off say this was given to me through a giveaway here on StoryGraph, and i am so thankful for audrey for giving me this!
this was my first audiobook, and boy was it a treat
i loved not only the story, but the narration techniques, the music, and how i could truly *feel* gregor's despair. also ngl audrey's little recaps are a blessing.
the story itself was so beautiful. i loved how simple it was to grasp the underlying metaphor, yet i could still easily fall in love. kafka's writing has a sort of lyrical sense to it, and im addicted.
also i loved how pathetic gregor was.
i just loved everything about this. i cant put into words why greatly, i just really had a good time reading this.
also this made me cry and literally only 2 other books have done that to me
