La metamorfosis
by Franz Kafka
The Metamorphosis (German: Die Verwandlung) is a novella written by Franz Kafka which was first published in 1915. One of Kafka's best-known works, The Metamorphosis tells the story of salesman Gregor Samsa, who wakes one morning to find himself inexplicably transformed into a huge insect (German ungeheures Ungeziefer, literally "monstrous vermin") and subsequently struggles to adjust to this new condition. The novella has been widely discussed among literary critics, with differing interpretations being offered.

Gregor's sister got hot while he was a bug

Content warning This review contains spoilers
The ending was really weird, like I understand Gregor dying but Kafka literally ended the book by talking about how Gregor's sister suddenly had big tits bc she went through puberty while everyone was stressed out.
I mean it's a totally mundane observation I guess, which seems to follow the theme of "wow what a fucked up situation I'm in, let me worry about literally everything that isn't the fact that I'm a bug"

I gave this book 3 stars not because of Kafka's writing or because I thought it was flawed in style. I gave it 3 stars because I found Gregor's family to be the most self-serving insects on earth!!! I felt so bad for Gregor, after the apple in the back. And I really, REALLY couldn't stand his father and after a while his sister made me SICK!!! I know it was necessary to show that Gregor wasn't a part of the family anymore because of some condition (it is said to be the self-inflicted condition of being a writer so I don't feel bad for Kafka- he could have given it up) and isolation and whatever but his family just really, really irked me otherwise I would have given it 5 stars. But even so, Kafka waS a twisted genius.
