The Metamorphosis Reviews

Seriously how the hell can Kafka expect people to think this as a masterpiece, oh dear.............., I mean. People DO class it as a masterpiece..WHY!? It's anything but. This book is just WRONG. It's not even close to being adequate.

I prefer ''The Trial'' than this tripe though.

With this startling, bizarre, yet surprisingly funny first openning, Kafka begins his masterpiece, The Metamorphosis.
It is the story of a young man who, transformed overnight into a giant beetle-like insect, becomes an object of disgrace to his family, an outsider in his own home, a quintessentially alienated man. A harrowing -- though absurdly comic -- meditation on human feelings of inadequacy, guilt, and isolation, The Metamorphosis has taken its place as one of the most widely read and influential works of twentieth-century fiction.
