So, the first thought is that this is an incomplete work, and it is written all over it. Another point is that the sequence of the chapters also doesn't come from Kafka. Which I believe is the reason that it sounds so incoherent. All the characters doesn't seem to have developed enough including Josef.
But that doesn't diminish the brilliance of Kafka. If you look at different plots in isolation than you can see his style of surrealistic narration. Pity that he couldn't complete it because even the draft itself is so promising.
Finally, if you're looking for a story this might not be the best of his works (due to incompletion) but if you're looking forward to some of his master strokes than this is worth a read. It's not complete but is about 200 pages so not to worry!
