A review by mjenae
The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka
2.0
I would have enjoyed this story more out of metaphor, but perhaps it would not have been as effective. The writer described everything very well, and although it didn't make me physically sick, it definitely had the potential to.
In general, I dislike stories without hope or redemption, so that was a turn-off for me.
I didn't like any of the characters.
I was intermittently bored and angry almost the entire time.
And I realize that most of these things were probably intended. It's not a bad story, and I can see how people could enjoy it. It has a valid point.
But I'm sorry, I'd rather read something that affirms rather than takes a wrecking ball to my faith in humanity.
