Review title: They've all come to look for America....
Product review: Franz Kafka's 'Amerika' started off, to me, with a great premise, but in the end I found the tale less than entertaining.Karl Rossman, a teenage boy shipped off to America by his parents following an 'indiscretion' with a servant girl, finds himself in the company of an American uncle, who quickly shuns him for accepting the hospitality of one of the uncle's friends.Rossman then 'disappears' into the poor working class landscape of America, where he encounters many less than scrupulous characters.Much of this novel is devoted to the this 'disappearance', though the action, to me, never quite moved along...and made the story quite stale to me...While I have not read any other works by Franz Kafka, I hope that other novels were better paced and executed. His prose is enjoyable, just not very 'lively' in this offering.
