Reader Reviews:
fantastic! (1/2 people found this helpful)
This book, wierd as it may be, is a fantastic tale of Gregor who wakes one morning to discover he is a 'monstrous vermin'. The story shows how he lives and his family seperates from him. His metamorphosis from being family provider to family burden is particularly sad and the ending is... well, you'll have to read it! (i won't give it away)Grete is brave and becomes the provider for Gregor and experiences her own metamorphosis into womanhood.
A great book for those who are sick of traditional boring stories. This is certainly different,full of metaphors and really gets you thinking!
Kafka's world (2/2 people found this helpful)
A great story where Kafka mixes real feelings with science fiction, and takes us to a world of loneliness and family rejection.
