Review of "Kafka's Son" on 'Goodreads'

Hilarious, surreal, and a perfect addition to the list of books that I really enjoyed reading.

My favorite interactions were between the narrator and a character that spoke in a creative form of broken English, where parts of words were replaced with synonyms. For example, she really didn't want to get in a "relationboat" with him. When he started to take on her way of speaking, their conversations were hilarious and full of surprisingly funny hidden jokes. So good!

Being a fan of Kafka, it made the book more enjoyable -- in being aware of how stories like The Trial, The Castle, and The Penal Colony were done.

A strange, fun journey. Would easily recommend.
