Editor : So Franz, How how difficult should this book be to read?

Franz : Yes

Was reading this book easy?
Lol. Nope.

Nonetheless, I was a little familiar with his writing style from reading the metamorphosis, earlier in the year.
But this? Damn!
Felt like it dragged on for ages, despite having 250 pages.
Maybe its because of the fact that the readers aren't being told what the protagonist was being accused of. Maybe to make us understand the perspective of the protagonist? The frustration?
We'll never know.

This book really tested my will power. There were times during reading this book, that I would get physically repulsed. Then again, that could be because of the crowded train journey.

You know how, when you're reading some difficult text, and the environment in which you're reading it doesn't make the job any easier? Yeah, perhaps I need to read this again in a calmer setting. Just to get tortured again? Sure.

Sorry, but not reading another Kafka book, ever.
