I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed The Metamorphosis. Like the vast majority of books in classic literature, The Metamorphosis is very description heavy (like, how long does it take you to get out of bed? I understand that you are this weird but thing, but seriously?!) but for the most part, the story really intrigued me. For a translated book, the sentences flowed together quite nicely, and I would never had guessed that the book was originally written in German had I not been told. There was probably some incredibly deep meaning behind the plot and characters that completely went over my head, but I liked the story nonetheless. Franz Kafka's writing style is quite long winded in some parts, but once I got over that, The Metamorphosis was a good read.

No importa cuantas veces relea La Metamorfosis, siempre le voy a encontrar cosas nuevas.
Kafka my beloved!
Fun fact: mis lineas favoritas son la primera y la última. Magic.
