Sara Reviews: Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka!


Mitch really is not embracing this book club I mean I invited him to post and it's been like 12 hours, no response, what is this? In what will most assuredly be a failed attempt to annoy him into participating, I am reviewing Metamorphosis because I know that it was the first thing he read for "book club."

I most related to this part:
"If they were startled, then Gregor had no more responsibility and could be calm. But if they accepted everything quietly, then he would have no reason to get excited and, if he got a move on, could really be at the station around eight o’clock."
Let's be honest, if I woke up as a bug, I'd probably be like 'oh maybe I won't have to go to work since I'm a bug!' Dick move on the part of the family though to not accept Gregor's new identity of a bug. Oh god, do you think "otherkins" use this book as like evidence that it's important to accept non-human identities? I'm not sure I like this book anymore.

Overall, it was short, so... 7/10 stars!!!!!!!!!

Word count: 21,810 (or something around there, I'm not sure for this particular translation)
Sara's total points: 96,810
