I read it in German, so I probably did not understand or appreciate the book as much as I should have...but overall, it was nice!

Would you still love me if I was a cockroach?

No idea how it’s possible for a ~50 page book to be boring and repetitive but here we are. The characters make me mad and the prose leaves a lot to be desired (partially because this was translated but that doesn’t make it any more pleasant).
Still liked it, Gregor is so me. I get why this is really loved.
