This was definitely not mindless by any means. Kafka's prose offers incisive examination of human nature, exposing our capacity for selfishness and conditional love with unsettling clarity.

But it wasn't a fun read. Definitely recommend if you want to be fucking marinated in misery for a few hours. I mean, there is already so much bad in the world, I don't want to want to immerse myself in more of it when I pick up a book. So I'll just rate it a little lower. Maybe I was not in the mood for something so emotionally suffocating.
