Entre altos e baixos
Sempre fazendo uso de alegorias e figuras de linguagem a obra tem seus altos e baixos que vão desde uma extrema síntese como em Aforismos, passando por uma longa e maçante prosa como em Metamorfose. Admito que a diagramação não é tão confortável, mas a tradução é confiável

Kafka is know for creating worlds that are so simple yet so confusing. I would recommend a deep dive into the various interpretations of this book and the life of Kafka before reading.
