It was so brilliantly written. My favorite line was, “logic is doubtless unshakable, but it cannot withstand a man who wants to go on living” I thought that was such a beautiful line. Also K was probably the most controversial and annoying protagonist ever. He had no respect for women and I was shocked when he described one as pretty. Nevertheless this was beautifully written and Kafka is a genius with the words.

As drawn out and infuriating as the trial itself. Though I get that there was method to the style I, like K., felt only exhaustion at the inevitable (and abrupt) conclusion.

Much more satisfying and conclusive end than The Castle. A classic explorations of excruciating bureaucracy and the ambiguous, deadly machinations of auth0ritarianism.

I loved the begging of the story and I think that make the rest not so good
