I won this through the LibraryThing Early Reviewers program. As a fan of both Kafka's original work and adorable kittens, I thought this might amuse me.

Continuing the classics-with-extra-bits trend that began with Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, here we have the tale of The Metamorphosis where instead of turning into a giant bug, Gregor Samsa awakens to find himself transformed into an adorable kitten. It’s been a long time since I read the original, but I think there were also portions from The Trial included as well. Either way, it doesn’t work very well. There are a few good lines here and there, but by and large you’d be better off just reading the original, which is absurd enough on its own. I did, however, very much enjoy the appendices: a snarky biography of Kafka and some hilarious discussion questions. Those are worth reading on their own merits.

Found this book at the bookcrossing meeting at Birdie's Cafe yesterday. I just read melydia's review. Sounds interesting. I'll give it a try.
