“I cannot make you understand. I cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside me. I cannot even explain it to myself.” (Gregor Samsa, The Metamorphosis)

The Metamorphosis is one of the most commonly referenced books when you talk about absurd literature. It is heralded as a masterpiece of the existential literature genre because of how it demands the reader to accept the absurdity of the world just as it is. Although some of the events of the story are fantastical in nature, the ideas it conveys about existence, the meaning of life, and humanity are relatable to us in the real world, too.

I knew this story already and enjoyed the book. The reader, however, had a poor understanding of sentence inflection and proper word emphasis that was annoying.

A poorly narrated good story

The entire book - totally bizarre. Perhaps I missed the whole point. Will not read this author again

Not sure why I continued to listen

I hope i didn't pay for this awful book. The plot is stupid. I didn't enjoy anything about it.

This is just a terrible story.
