Arrived quickly delivery and prime issues
Had to drive to UPS store to pickup. Unable to update Prime membership payment method and receive my discount. Months without Prime service 😢 Nice book purchased for daughter - a school selection/required reading. It had lots and lots of words in it.

Bugging’ Out
The book itself was in good shape. Quality printing, good binding nice type. The story is terrible. I tried to convince my daughter that it was crap, but she just wouldn’t believe me. What do I know? I’m only an English teacher.

Deeply tragic story.
Very affecting.

Love the original illustrations
Hadn't re-read The Metamorphosis since I was a teen (Reasd it on my own, by sheer happenstance, not as a school assignment). Didn't know that Kafka had illustrated the original, but decided to buy this copy to see those and re-read the classic. Happy on both counts. Consider this as a complement to surrealistic art works, even though the illustrations are quite naturalistic.

Quick Read
This book was a quick and easy read. It was a great read while on the plane and waiting in the airport. I love the characters deep perspective in the book.

Allegory and Themes: thinking outside the box.
A must-read book for anyone who is into interpretation and out-of-the-box thinking. Kafka masterfully explores different themes and invites the reader to dive into the world of Gregor’s life before - and after the ‘transformation’. Highly recommend to all potential readers and Kafka’s fans.
