The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. 

2/5 rating. 

Book #10 of 2020. Read February 23, 2020.

This short book is just plain weird.

Gregor wakes up one day having been transformed into a huge”vermin” (what appears to be a cockroach or something similar). The story follows him and his family’s following months trying to live with this huge change.

The family is forced to all get jobs, and still clean and feed Gregor. He is meanwhile just left to his own devices in his room as he slowly withers away from neglect and not eating.

I really don’t understand why this is considered somewhat of a classic. Don’t waste your time reading this!
