my thoughts
this book wasnt actually that bad, the story line was confusing but the plot was brilliant. you never new why K was arrested or exicuted all you knew was the law base of the distopian society was so messed up and payed little attention to. i liked how kafka never revealed why Joseph K: a innocent banker, was trialed and killed. it made the reader finish the book so they could find out.
