I would give you a 0 but that's not possible so i give you a 0,25
For some reason everybody seems to share the opinion that this is a must-read for everybody. That's also why I had the pleasure of reading this monstrosity for school.
And fuck, that was awful. I wouldn't even classify this as a book. That's just an abomination. I barely read 60 pages, and it took forever. There was so much useless information and just uninteresting stuff. I am just proud of myself for powering through and actually finishing it.

After seeing a review get clowned on over on tumblr, I realised I hadn’t written my own and had to come over to balance the scales.
This book is a classic for a reason. I read this as a metaphor for suddenly becoming disabled (physically or mentally), the subsequent guilt at needing to overly depend on people, and the dehumanisation and resentment that can follow from your providers. It’s so poignant to me that Gregor, upon turning into a bug, first worries about how it will impact his ability to work. He does not want to be a burden. But the empathy he has for the rest of his family doesn’t matter. They still find him disgusting for something out of his control, and ultimately kill him for it.

Recuerdo que estaba en grado 10 y este libro fue una caricia emocional a como me sentia. Pasaje favorito:
"el trato con la gente, que siempre cambia, que nunca dura, que nunca llega a ser afectuoso. ¡al diablo con todo!"
