This was a solid short story and a good introduction into Kafka's works. In a way I expected way more, especially plot-wise, but I think it's good to have to look at it from the view of how Kafka writes the characters. Not the most fleshed out story, and in sometimes overly descriptive of a bug-like state for those who don't enjoy this version of body horror. Overall it wasn't very captivating for me besides the very end. Maybe exploring Kafka's works more will lead to understanding his ideas better.
