When I read the premise of this book, I expected a story where the protagonist does not know what he is accused of and tries frantically to do something about his situation. But, I was disappointed and I don't blame the book for it. I was really frustrated by the passive nature with which K. treated his trial. I mean, if the accused doesn't care, why should I?

The story had a lot of scenes which I found to be rather pointless and boring (intentional?). I'm sure a lot of people disagree with me (Hell! Even I want to disagree with myself!) but I don't think there's anything 'genius' in here. The only saving grace is the ending. I had read a lot of reviews raving about it, so that's the only reason I didn't give up reading it further. I'm glad I waited because that's the best (and most impactful) part of the book.

(It took me almost the same time to finish this 200 page book as it did to finish 1000 pages long Anna Karenina.)

“Le decisioni finali del tribunale non vengono rese pubbliche, neanche i giudici vi possono accedere, di conseguenza sui casi giudiziari del passato si conservano solo delle leggende.”
