'would you still love me if I were a worm' final boss ;)
really though, a good read. very quick read but a bit of depth. almost made me cry but not quite. felt like I was watching a man in a depressive episode but he was a beetle :(

My first Kafka.
I wasn’t expecting such a heavy amount of critique of capitalism in this, but I loved it whether or not it was intentional.
Love how insular this book was + the depiction of a family at odds over one common thing.
I’ll be thinking about this one for a long time!

This book is confusing to say the least and not what I was expecting going in but it's a tale that at it's core is about whatever you want it to be about. Kafka isn't there spoonfeeding you what the man turning into a cockroach means.
Do you think its an allegory for society's treatment of mental illness or physical disability? Do you think it's about the crushing weight of corporatism? Do you think it's about emotional abuse?
For what its worth its a one of a kind book that, honestly I think most people should read at least once. It's ending however is really depressing but fitting given the direction it was going.
I really liked it.

4 stars, down to 3.25 stars due to the translation being lacklustre.
Will look for another translation for future Kafka
