Did not finish book. Stopped at 48%.
Boring and obnoxious and tedious. Considered finishing it but then I saw a bunch of reviews from people DNFing at 50% and figured it wasn't worth the trouble. Sucks when a book with a great premise can't seem to get any of it right.

WHAT is the big deal? How has this book become so unbelievably popular? What is the appeal? I don't get it.

Masterpiece, obviously. I got into a fight over interpretation with some girls in my World Lit class whom I am certain have never felt utterly alien in their lives. I'll admit I skipped over some of the critical essays in my edition because you could not pay me to care about Freud's bearing on this book. Anyway, I need to read more Kafka.
