Book Reviews of The Kafka Effekt

Book Review: A Contemporary Kafka
Summary: 5 Stars

Just buy everything written by this guy. You won't be disappointed! . . . unless you happen to be the Jesus freak a couple posts below who is the only person who gave a negative review. If you happen to be close-minded, as most Jesus freaks are, you're just not going to get Wilson. Also, I'd like to point out that if you are expecting a Kafka-clone you're not going to find it here. This guy is very fresh and very unique. I'm sure the only reason why this book is called The Kafka Effekt is because the author was very inspired by Kafka or perhaps Kafka is the only other author out there that readers can compare Wilson to. But whereas Kafka is classical and bleak, Wilson is colorful, upbeat, funny as hell, and extremely modern. And far less subtle with his wild displays of surrealism and the absurd. Which makes for a more enjoyable read than your regular Kafka-clone who thinks they are writing for an early 1900s audience.

Also, his second collection, "Stranger on the Loose," is just as good if not even better than the Kafka Effekt. I recommend getting them both before you are eaten by a giant hors d'oeuvres.
