The Castle

If you're searching for a work that embodies the "Kafkaesque" mood, this is one of Kafka's works that best captures it. In my opinion, this mood is even more pronounced in this book than in the popular short story "Metamorphosis." However, if you're not interested in exploring this mood, you might find the book less appealing. It can be confusing and repetitive, often leaving you with the feeling that you don't know what's happening.

One aspect that could be improved is the fact that the book was not finished. While this isn't a major issue, it did stand out to me more here than in some of Kafka's other works. I was left wanting more, which can be both a positive and a negative. It's something to keep in mind.

Overall, it's brilliant. I'm glad I read it, and I'm glad I'm done with it.
