The Metamorphosis is a dark and twisted book, It starts off with a traveling salesmen, Gregor Samsa awakening to a horrible surprise. He is no longer a human, he transformed into an insect, A cock roach to be exact. He's not sure how to go along with his new appearence, but while he’s trying to find out his family becomes worried. When they find out about his change, they are unsure on how to deal with his situation. As time goes on they actually start to treat him like a bug and not a family member. Greg knows his fate, and what must happen, so he finally ends up dying. I love books that explain the unexpected, it really makes you wonder what if? In my own opinion this book is actually inhuman in ways, But at the same time very interesting. In not only describes the life of an insect, but it goes into a deeper meaning of someone who feels alone in their life. The ending of the book made the whole book worth while. It ended with an unexpected twist, Gregory’s death. The author really does a good job in showing that with the change of one family member it can change the whole family. He is showing that family should always be their for each other no matter what, through the good and the bad. I would highly recommend this book to someone who enjoys the weird readings.
