Reviews for The Castle

Review - Castle, The

I only made it through the first 50 pages — I got the point by page 10 or so. It was all about trying to reach some unattainable goal and the frustrations and distractions that prevent it. It wasn't interesting or meaningful and generally, because of the deliberate vagueness, made very little sense. Dull. Kafka died before he finished it, so even if I had kept reading, there would have been no resolution and no point to it.
