So viel ist über dieses Buch bereits geschrieben worden, dass ich keine Chance habe, etwas Neues beizutragen.

Für mich war die Handlung unlogisch, die Figuren und deren Verhalten unnachvollziehbar und das Ende frustrierend. Auch wenn der Roman unvollendet ist, hätte er in vollendeter Form wahrscheinlich für mich ähnlich wenig Sinn gemacht.

Am Besten gefällt mir noch die Theorie, dass K. sich den gesamten Prozess eingebildet und sich am Schluss selbst umgebracht hat.

nurlys's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH
slow-paced

The longest I have spent reading such a short book - Kafka did what Kafka always does; forcing the reader to re-read sentences, set the book down & ask “what the f*** did I just read?”

This book is so hard to rate - do I recommend it? Yes. Was it a top, fav read? No. However, if you wish to explore Kafka’s work, this is definitely the book to read (arguably his best work, despite it being unfinished).

What a tough, brilliant little book, the gravity of which is deceptive given the length.

A biting, infuriating indictment on law, government, power and innocence. Impossible to articulate as well as others on here, but suffice it to say it progresses into a crescendo of injustice and scathe.

I’ll read it again one day, if not for it’s message but it’s fun writing style and surreal dialogue.

9/10
