I loved the writing style and the fact that it was short but still managed to be impactful. I had really high hopes for this because many of my mutuals on Twitter have liked it, but unfortunately I couldn't really identify myself with Gregor like I thought I would. It could be because I didn't have any previous knowledge on Kafka and the time and place he was portraying in the story and so I couldn't really get it. Maybe I'll change my opinion when I study Kafka in German literature class next year.
