A review by isabellesbooks
The Castle by Franz Kafka

2.0

I love Kafka, love absurdist fiction, love philosophy…but nope, this did not do it for me. It could have easily been a short story (and would have been far better as one, in my opinion). The same thing just keeps going on, and on, and on… it is a little tiring after awhile. I understand that we are supposed to feel our narrator’s frustration at his seemingly hopeless, never-ending mission but let’s just say I REALLY felt his frustration. When the book ended I was slightly relieved and wasn’t devastated that this work was unfinished, which I feel says a lot.
