Once again enveloped and invested in Gregor from the beginning, what a strong parallel of what Kafka must have been feeling as he got sick. Never thought I would cry over a bug just wanting to reunite with his family and provide, quick read

This book consists of three stories by Kafka: Metamorphosis, In The Penal Colony & The Judgement. Three short stories, each with differing and overlapping themes. I originally wanted the book for Metamorphosis but have, after reading, found myself encaptured by 'In The Penal Colony'.
I strongly suggest anyone who has a stomach for disturbing tales, undeniable cruelty and an interest in morality to read the latter story!
