Review:

This book is compilation of short stories written by Franz Kafka. The famous short story titled The Metamorphosis is one of the short story in this book. My thoughts about The Metamorphosis is: the story is so weird and some parts are disgusting because it’s literally about a human becoming an insect. Weirdest story I’ve ever encountered!

But there are some short stories that become my favorites:

  1. Gazing Distractedly out of the Window
  2. A Window onto the Street
  3. A Country Doctor
  4. The Concerns of a Father
  5. Eleven Sons

Some other stories make me feel confused and flabbergasted. Overall, this book makes me wondering and leaving me with questions. I give 3.5 stars for this short stories compilation.
