Book Reviews of Franz Kafka: The Complete Stories
Book Review: Easy to read and yet impossible to pin down
Summary: 5 Stars
Kafka is easy to read and yet impossible to pin down. Often the readers analysis and interpretation says more about the reader than about Kafka himself. That I think is the beauty af Kafka, his themes are timeless and are the source for endless discussion.
Compared to his contemporaries Kafka uses very simple german and the german editions should be very accessible to language students.
Book Review: Nice Collection - Bad Binding
Summary: 3 Stars
I am a long time fan of Kafka. I enjoyed seeing all of this work in one collection; however, I thought the quality of the actual physical book was well below average. If I buy a Kafka book, I want it to hold up so I can revisit it 6 months, 4 years, or 3 decades from now. Many paperbacks will provide that level of use, but I doubt this printing will.Book Review: Amazone reference is wrong
Summary: 5 Stars
Amazone refers to this book as "... brings together all of Kafka's stories--those published during his lifetime and those released after his death." No Kafka book was published while he was alive.Book Review: Country doctor
Summary: 5 Stars
Just reread "Country Doctor" last night and man alive, what a thing that is. When the old man makes his comeback, it scares me visually. You want some real shock and horror? Read this guy.Book Review: 3 Stars
If this is the "COMPLETE" version of his stories why don't I see The Trial and The Castle listed? Seems "complete", as in "free", has a whole new definition these days. Buyer take note!
