The ending was left me staring at my wall for thirty minutes. In a good way.

the first half of this book is a slog… but the second half is spectacular! in “part one” all i could wonder about was how this book has such high praise, but once “part two” begins, camus’ wit and philosophical ponderings really shine. however, to me, that didn’t justify or lift up the previous section for me to give it a higher rating. the paratext (i.e., introduction and translator note) does a lot of the work to explain why they first half is like that, but it still didn’t resonate with me like the second half did.

overall, this was a relatively interesting book. you could even say it was, a bit, kafkaesque :)

I really enjoyed it, I thought it was a perfect reflection of Camus’ philosophy. It’s definitely a book that makes you think after you’ve finished and I was able to connect with the views of the main character. Over sll i liked it a lot, I found it to be very entertaining and accessible.
