What Members Thought
Kafka's most well known work. One day Gregor wakes up and has become a most vile and many legged insect, or 'monstrous vermin'. It is clear that this story has other connotations, but as Kafka himself did not enlighten us to them, we shall be left to ponder them.

Going into this book with the knowledge that Kafka came from a Jewish German-speaking family in Prague, which would have caused him to have been looked down on and treated like vermin, lends a poignant view of the circumstances.
The book is filled with the dark comedy, pitiful narrative and mental chaos. The content does complete justice to the title since all the changes happen slowly. What moves the reader further is the acceptance of the fate without questions and further spending the life in exile, drowned in his own sorrow, slowly pushing the life out without blaming anyone for it.
