Illustrations were great. Story is about a guy that turns into a bug, and ends with parents delighted that their daughter has become "voluptuous." It's really bizarre.

One of the amazing read of this year ! Defiantly want to suggest everyone to read this book.

Weird shit man.

I honestly don't know what to do with this. What was the point of it? I'm used to short stories exploring a strong message or character concept or "what if" scenario. This was a man who becomes a bug, who made no efforts after the first day to find harmony with his family, and they treated him like a cockroach. We listen to him as the family decides where furniture should go in his room, as he realizes he can climb walls, and as he sinks into neglect.And then he died.In good news, the narrator f...

When I found this graphic novel at the library I thought it would be the perfect way to explore this strange text I’d always been interested in reading, but never prioritized. This confirmed that I will never read the full text.

I've had this short classic "on my list" for so long, yet finally got around to reading it. It's one of those that I need time to sit and think about to try to figure out what it meant to me, and then go read other analyses to see what "the experts" say.What I'm getting out of it now, from my own reading, has to do with being known and appreciated for who we are rather than what's on the outside. It's rather a sobering read for me, to be honest. Do people appreciate and love us for what we do fo...

I'll be honest, I have always struggled with the book and why it is considered so great, I still do. However, the graphic novel brings with it some nuance that I missed in the prose version.

A man wakes up one day to find he has been changed into a large insect. The story follows his efforts to deal with this, and his family's reaction to the change. But it's not just a story about a man turning into a insect, it's a clever way of writing about how a family would deal with the main breadwinner in the house becoming unable to work, the way a family reacts to someone who is disabled. It could also be an analogy for how a family treats a member of the family who is now old and needs to...

"As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect " Surely it is one of the greatest books for Kafka. But what got me interested the most are the psychological reasons that let him write such a novel !! I've read some reviews of several names from writers to psychologists that were trying to understand the relationship between the father and the sun in the world of Kafka according to him ( to his real father) , Knowing that he wa...

Gregor is a hard working man that takes care of his family and he is also very tired of his boss. Gregors boss makes him feel as if he is so little.One day when Gregor wakes up he is aw

3.5 rounded off to 4 🌟" As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect. "- The Metamorphosis, Franz KafkaThe above line clearly tells what the book is about. Gregor Samsa a travelling salesman, wakes up one fine morning to find he transformed into a huge insect. To be very honest this was an awkward read according to me. It was mostly sad and weird.But how can you let go of such a read without deciphering an inner message?So I

This is a great interpretation and adaptation of Kafka's Metamorphosis. The humor and the horror are duking it out in that great spy vs spy way (thank you Peter Kuper) , and sentimentality is beautifully burlesqued and still there is a shifty (shifting) emotional resonance in there. I love how reading this comic metamorphosis brings out parts of the prose I would not have weighted and makes me want to read the prose again and see what feels new. One of my favorite tales about literary folk is th...

The artwork was unique and fun, the story a summery of The Metamorphosis. If you enjoyed Kafka, and you like comic books, it’s a fair assumption you’ll find this entertaining.

The graphics are very nicely illustrated. I will eventually read the actual novel but like this is currently the most morbid book I’ve read this year.

Very unique black and white artwork that cleverly brings to life Kafka’s absurdist fiction. It’s surrealist and comical, and a good adaptation overall. My only issues are the position of some of the panels, and the interchangeable use of captions. The disarranged panels brilliantly give a sense of claustrophobia, but sometimes they look a bit too messy. And although I only noticed this being a problem once, it can be hard to follow who is talking when captions are used for both the main characte...

5 horror-struck stars! 🌟Existential parable, anyone?Fancy waking up one fine day to find yourself in quite the expressionistic state: "transformed in bed into a horrible vermin"! Nonsense, huh? That's what Gregor Samsa thought, too.Though overly committed and devoted to his salesman job, the sense of perennial insufficiency prevails. Gregor is portrayed as being "condemned to work for a company where they immediately became highly suspicious at the slightest shortcoming". Indeed, the chief clerk...

Kuper's dark shading and expressionistic tone work well for an adaptation of this bizarre tale. I especially liked the subtle echo of Charlie Brown in Gregor Samsa's belly pattern--an idea R. Sikoryak also played on in his own Peanuts version of "The Metamorphosis." Even the use of different typefaces rather than hand lettering (except for some of Gregor's speech balloons) is effective in this tale of cold and selfish people. The lodgers all being physically identical and speaking in unison is a...

Review of Metamorphosis By Franz Kafka My Rating-3/5 This story is about a guy named Gregor Samsa , who metamorphosed into a giant bug one morning. And then book tells us about the problems faced by him .He faces alienation, embarrassment and disrespect from not only his workplace but also from his own family whose is lead by a patriarch father. To be honest, It was kind of boring and weird . The Only thing that I liked was the writing style of Franz Kafka.His writing style is so unique and sim...

I started reading his books in order to one of my paper presentation in university.. And my mind is blown.. Every moment of a bug's life you would find interesting who thought that.. Back to back reading his more books and can't wait to review them #Kafkaesque

The family of Greogor Samsa reminded me of an Indian family. Anything that goes against the mainstream culture or lifestyle is received with disgust and condemnation. In the end, Samsa's parents are proud of the vanity that their daughter displayed, which is akin to how my parents view women to be. If she is a pretty figure in a family gathering, behaving princess-like and garnering attention from suitors, she is perfect and only then brings pride to her family.
