ben_patten 's review for:

The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka
4.0
challenging dark funny reflective sad tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Exisistentialism is a privilege, not a right. The first ten pages or so are among the most absurd, and inadvertently funniest, ever written.
