Well how am I scoring this higher than The Metamorphosis? Some thing different about this novel we all really liked. Based on Max Brod and Franz Kafka, the author brings a (sort of) true story to a enjoyable read. Love, betrayal, literary rivalry. Good stuff. book group 7/10 me nearly and 8 but 7.75/10

Score 7.5/10
