I thought the book was very 'kafkaesque' but a little to juvenile for my tastes.

I just didn't understand the chapter V. And what is good about chapter II? I find this novel really boring (I'm half of it). Should I stop ?

If you find this boring you may be beyond hope.

I just find this a ridiculous tentative to set a dark and absurd atmosphere. A bit like if a teenager wanted to describe a special atmosphere.

>such a mindfuck
You consider that a mindfuck ?!
It was a nice quick, eloquent, uncomplex read. It might be a good literary style and maybe one of the first novels being "anti-realist" (not sure what the right term for it is -> it was slightly funny & weird by how something that absurd was approached in factual report style). But I was stunned by how popular that book is, it seems way too overrated to me. Is there any other Kafka book people would recommend me to read ?
But >>5109386 is a good tip on getting more out of the book.
