The book may read a bit dull or like Workman's prose when you start, but I'd recommend sticking with it! The prosody between the character and the prose is really strong, and the plot quickly becomes compelling.

Wouldn’t expect a book like this to be so damn entertaining but it really is. Mersault’s narration is interesting and at times funny and it certainly keeps a reader hooked.

Nagyon régóta nem nevettem ennyit egy könyvön. De közben nagyon elgondolkodtató volt, egy teljesen más világnézetet mutatott be.
