Unsettling, frustrating and horrifying. Very claustrophobic. The characters and setting were well-described and easy to imagine. There were a few sections towards the end of the book which I found hard to get through, but overall it held my attention and I enjoyed it. Sometimes funny in a bleak miserable way. Of course it’s unfinished, but my copy had an introduction which explained briefly what Kafka had allegedly planned for the ending, i read it and was not remotely surprised, of course it’s the most depressing outcome possible.
It's a shame Kafka wasn't able to finish this book before his death, but it's pretty great anyway and still worth a read.
4.0 out of 5

a very long 50-page novella. though the author has the good sense (albeit belated) to give it the conclusion it deserves
