People say not to read into Kafkas work so I guess this is just a story about a man turning into a cockroach.

But if I were to read into it maybe there'd be commentary on family bonds, the perceived self, and what separates man from beast - or in this case bug. Really interesting perspective but didn't totally resonate with me so dropped a star.

It's silly. It's weird. It's kinda sad.

I give this book 4 stars because I loved Metamorphosis, a report to an academy, and the penal colony.
