The Metamorphosis: by Franz Kafka | Deluxe Edition by Franz KafkaMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
A weird little story that doesn't really go anywhere. In fact it's quite a sad ending. There's no explanation about why Gregor wakes up transformed into some kind of beetle (never defined what exactly) and it's written as a narrative from his perspective and what is going on in his mind until the last couple of pages, which is a little strange.
I read this because it was a famous book, but I don't understand why.
This particular copy has serious formatting issues, and a lot of punctuation errors, including wording - which I am unsure is the translation or not. I have ordered a more reputable copy to try and see if it reads differently or better.
