It's a very surprising book. It shows how perspective can change every faith. I was so surprised by how much I like this book. Amazing description of places. Very reflective book. Love how much your perspective change from the beginning to the end of the book. Solid read.

I picked this up because everyone else seemed to be reading it and enjoyed it thoroughly. The novel was funny to me, just the brief, curt way the first part is written has me laughing with whiplash, both good and bad.

The book begins with the death of the MC’s mother. Animal abuse happens, but it’s glossed over and really isn’t a big part. They’re on a colony, but the part that stood out more was just the outright racism and misogyny the MC’s neighbor exhibits. Camus explores the passivity that reproduces and allows bigotry to flourish with our extremely passive MC

Very interesting read. It reminded me A LOT of No Longer Human. This writing style is so unique and tells so much about the mental state of the main character. Each sentence is written with reason behind it. The sun scene (iykyk) was written so beautifully to point it made you feel the sun on your back. Very different!
