Publisher Description
“One morning, as Gregor Samsa was waking up from anxious dreams, he discovered that he had been changed into an adorable kitten.” Thus begins The Meowmorphosis - a bold, startling, and fuzzy-wuzzy new edition of Kafka’s classic nightmare tale, from the publishers of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies! Meet Gregor Samsa, a humble young man who works as a fabric salesman to support his parents and sister. His life goes strangely awry when he wakes up late for work and discovers that, inexplicably, he is now a man-sized baby kitten. His family freaks out: Yes, their son is OMG so cute, but what good is cute when there are bills to pay? And how can Gregor be so selfish as to devote all his attention to a scrap of ribbon? As his new feline identity threatens to eat away at his personality, Gregor desperately tries to survive this bizarre, bewhiskered ordeal by accomplishing the one thing he never could as a man: He must flee his parents’ house.

The Meowmorphasis...boring
The only reason I gave this one star is because that is the lowest I can rate it. This was categorized as a comedy. So I thought it would be cute and funny. This is more like listening to my history teacher drone on about the civil war. I must admit I only listened to the first half. I had to force myself to go that far; certain that at any moment it would get interesting. It never did. The writer goes on and on describing every detail of the cat's thoughts, feelings, and actions from the cat's perspective. There is no end of dialogue and very little action, unless you want to count the cat walking across the street. The story moves at a snail's pace. Then just as I decided I had heard enough of this story the recording froze up and would no longer play. Maybe it was trying to do me a favor.
