Not my favorite Camus work, but was still a very interesting read! I find the personalities of the characters to be very fun to dissect in this work, although it's a bit of a struggle. My favorite is the guy that counts peas all day. Although I must admit that this book is hard to read without relating everything to 2020, although the events of The Plague happened on a much smaller scale. As always, Camus provides a narrative that makes you reflect on human behavior and what drives it.
