The Stranger is a great start if you want to get into the classics. Having never read Camus before, i was pleasantly surprised. The beginning is quite slow, but keep reading because it does get better and you will be surprised. The narrator is definitely an awful person, but he makes some pretty funny but crude remarks. I deducted .25 from my review solely for the slow beginning, but it’s still nice because it builds up and kind of catches you off guard when something does happen. I think the end of the book was also pretty great. It’s the kind that makes you stare at your ceiling and sigh when you finish the last page. Overall i would recommend to anyone. Easy to read, written in a fairly straightforward manner. A great introduction to Camus.
