This book is very intriguing and very enjoyable to read! The language is pretty accessible and it's a short book too , so it's pretty easy to get throw.
The plot and main themes in this book will make you think for sure. Family dynamic is a main theme of this book, it might make you think of your own family dynamic!

Boken ger ett intressant perspektiv på hur man kan känna under ett liv vars allt man gör är beroende av ett job. Han är slav till kapitalismens system och blir utbränd. Han känner sig inte som en människa och går djupare och djupare.

Detta är ett intresant perspektiv med många olika tolkningar. Översattarna verkar respektera Kafkas visiob för boken och den läses så.

As I read The Metamorphosis, I can't help but reflect on how Gregor's experiences relate to ableism in our own society. This novella was beautifully written and truly made me think and ponder on the interpretation Kafka wanted us to believe. Despite the graphic and detailed descriptions of Gregor's transformation, explanations are left up to the reader's imagination.

I was really amused by the concept of this book and the way the characters reacted to gregor although the ending was satisfying, but in a sad way
