But I would say the story was elegantly described and is a bit sarcastically witty! ]]> http://readingbooks.blog/2013/04/26/april-book-of-month-the-metamorphosis-3/#comment-708 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 19:27:15 +0000 http://amandeepmittal.wordpress.com/?p=696#comment-708 This is one of Kafka’s classics. I also read it a while ago and reviewed it on my blog. The storyline is simple but the idea is as absurd as Kafka was wont to create.
