Ok I never read books or anything like this but I just felt like I should maybe give it a go...and I did. And it was better than I thought it would be. Also I'm not a fan of Kafka whatsoever, so this is a complete exception. And yes, 6 is a high rating for me...

A terrifying psychological trip into the life of one Joseph K., an ordinary man who wakes up one day to find himself accused of a crime he did not commit, a crime whose nature is never revealed to him. Once arrested, he is released, but must report to court on a regular basis--an event that proves maddening, as nothing is ever resolved. As he grows more uncertain of his fate, his personal life--including work at a bank and his relations with his landlady and a young woman who lives next door--becomes increasingly unpredictable. As K. tries to gain control, he succeeds only in accelerating his own excruciating downward spiral.

"Someone must have been telling lies about Joseph K., for without having done anything wrong he was arrested one fine morning. His landlady's cook, who always brought him his breakfast at eight o'clock, failed to appear on this occasion. That had never happened before. "

"Kafka is one of the greatest authors to have ever existed! His modernist style and richly defined characters with a sense of burgeoning post-modernism defines this novel and its place in literary history. Kafka can explore profound themes with an absurdist plot and a sense of objective detachment. Franz Kafka, you wrote books for me.
Read in February - July 2011.
