We all love to travel, to new places, new cities in cars, buses, caravans, by air, by the sea but I have travelled everyday since I was ten through books. I have let the ocean kiss my feet on the Coast of Ipanema and nosed around in Calgary and my travel expenses have never been more than the price of a McDonald Cheese Burger. Here's my travelogue where books can be found through the countries they have taken me to. The reviews are not professional and definitely not worth putting into a book review assignment for school! They are just a string of words that tell you what I felt when I travelled to a certain place. If it suits you, you go and book yourself a trip. If not, well...we'll keep it there!

Witnessing 'The Trial'


The TrialThe Trial by Franz Kafka
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I'm not sure where to begin! It's difficult rating a book like 'The Trial' primarily because it's so hard reading it. It's dystopian, it's absurd, it makes NO SENSE AT ALL at times and yet, it has the tendency to be vaguely (rather absurdly) philosophical at times. In fact, if it hadn't been for the good visual imagery of this book, I'm not sure I'd have given it even a two on five! Then again, maybe it wasn't Kafka's fault at all. Maybe I ought to go and hit Idris Parry for not being a good translator at all.
However, for the unique experience this book offered me, I think this book deserves to be read at least once.
