platypussy69 's review for:

The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka
3.75

I enjoyed this the most a few days after I finished reading it. The surreal, absurdist imagery kind of hits you like a dream. I found myself turning it over in my mind. Also like a dream I focused more on the feelings that came up, than the plot to gauge meaning. Hard not to feel shame,  disgust and vulnerability when u imagine becoming a giant cockroach. 

This was the first of Kafka's stories that I read.  I'd like to read more.
