hakberdi 's review for:
The Metamorphosis
by Franz Kafka
Wow, what a quite a shite piece of literature!
Celebrated writing style, in my horrible, horrible, horrible opinion was an utter trash.
Call me a snob, I guess, but I need to see what actions got us in these consequences, I hate when things get presented as-it-is.
Such a lazy-ass style of writing.
The thing is that we only getting one side of the story. And that side, Gregor, is quite bland. We can’t project anything out of him because we don’t know how we got here. We got a half-assed explanation, yes, but it still didn’t work because you can’t get emotional about a certain character if you don’t get to know him/her.
The only thing I did enjoy was translation. German literature is quite wordy, complicated in it’s nature and here it was neatly presented in classical English style.
Oh and I did get the message, though. It still ended up being shite but in depressive kind of way.
