It took me ages to find this specific edition to review! This was probably the worst quality audiobook I've ever listened to, but I kept going because I was enjoying The Metamorphosis so much. I always imagined being a giant bug as quite a fun experience but Kafka made it sound very inconvenient and painful which was a shame. I didn't enjoy the short stories by Guy de Maupassant so much - the first few were interesting but by the time it got to The Inn I was zoning out and just waiting for them to be over.
Metamorphosis would be 4 star and Guy de Maupassant's stories 3 star - so 3.5 in total
