This was a hard book for me to read, it wasn't as interesting as I had hoped or had been lead to believe by the reviews. Interesting dialogue but never got past the superficial at least to me. Very different writing style that took about 100 or so pages to get used to and find the main characters voice. Not one I would recommend to read.

"Understood what?"
"The plague."
"Ah!" Rieux exclaimed.
"No, you haven't understood that it means exactly that, the same thing over and over and over again."
