Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis


Franz Kafka



Review By: Sasha


This is a short story about a guy that turns into a vermin. Many people say cockroach but that is not the authors intent. Though short, it takes a while to read. The story is mostly about Gregor's (the man-incect) family troubles.

It's interesting but unless you have to read it for class I wouldnt reccomend it. If you have to read it for class, do read it and don't sparknote it because it's not that bad.

Do Androids Dream of Electronic Sheep?

Do Androids Dream of Electronic Sheep?


Philip K. Dick



Review By: Sasha


This book is set in a world after the final world war that left the planet earth basically uninhabitable. So most people go to mars and only a few are left on eath. Of the few on earth, most become stupid (cause of the chemicals). When you go to mars you get androids for company. Sometimes the androids (who look just like humans) get bored and kill their owners and come to earth. there's this guy who is a bounty hunter and he kills the androids who come to earth.

SO he gets this mission. And he has personal life drama. And he well anyway, its a good book. I dont want to give any spoilers because you should read it. it's very interesting.

Review By: Sasha


This book is a bunch of short stories. And one poem. The stories don't really end. And most of them are really wierd. It's an EXTREAMLY quick read and it's very interesting. So pick it up and read it. It wont take long. It basically stories about people's lives. Mostly about married people.
