Reviews
The execution
5By CubanosoI had imagined a macabre courtroom with stern officials and never ending accusations. Instead, this trial is much more insidious for never taking place but being omnipresent. I was surprised by the ending, but it might be the only possible outcome.Ok read

1By Desmond TurnerGreat book but this must've been translated by a 6 year old.Disturbing
4By jlwdobroDisturbing. A metaphor for real lifeThe definition of Kafkaesque/dystopian
4By micmacaA must read for anyone to know the dark Kafkaesque scam side of any identity system devoid of soul and personality like a police, justice system or military institution of discipline. A bit obsolete for the society of social media control replacing it today, but could be extrapolated.Terrible
1By Trill52It’s hard to understand how this book was considered one of the greatest of its era..... Opening this book was a daily battle. I’ve read college textbooks better than this. I really can’t overstate how bad this book is. Just a collection of over detail that really doesn’t tie into the story whatsoever. I usually have a high a turn around time on books but this one took me a couple of months because I dreaded reading it. If you’re thinking about reading this book, do yourself a favor and don’t. I’m elated to be done with it.The Trial

1By Loganstutz4I did not enjoy this book. It makes little to no sense, and the story line is not interesting. A boring read..
