The Trial

What does /book/ think about Kafka's Trial? It was nice, acceptable, but nothing outstanding, in my opinion. I do not understand how a book like this can be considered such a pretentious classic, while books like slaughterhouse five are much more entertaining, tought provoking and enjoyable, everything you'd want from a superiour book. So, i ask again, what's all the fuss about The Trial?

Yeah, like, that's so original, dude.

I value my time a lot and i like to be feeling that i'm reading with a purpose. This book left me with a feeling that i'm wasting time the entire book. I'm far from an insensitive buffon, maybe a little on the other extreme. I do not negate the book's cultural value, it's just that I am the one not getting it. The characters act in such a unrealistic manner. I totally can not relate to the environement presented in the book. More, K speaks in a weird manner that doesn't help my speaking habbits improve at all. There are so many random parts, that have little to no real value in the story. The said "vibe". I appreciate the deep emotional impact that books can give from now and then, but there isn't one here. There are thousands of good books out there that might appeal to us, why shall anyone read the trial? I cannot think of a single thing that might help this book out in this discussion. It has exactly the same appeal of watching average show replays on tv.

How about this, /book/?
