The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka
2.0
mysterious reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No

A classic of course but it is not why I read it at the first place. I actually wanted to discover the universe of Kafka which is really famous, the “Kafka girls” of TikTok influenced me also haha. The whole point of Kafka is to ask ourselves if we have to over-interpret his books or to not interpret them at all. Actually, this book made me think both at the same time. I liked how the character is chained to work but at the same time the book is so slow and boring and I am confused even myself of my opinions on it. Overall I still felt like it wasn’t my cup of tea and maybe it is just not the book of Kafka that I would like the most but I was a bit disappointed honestly.
