This is the first book I've completed in my journey to read all of Robert Smith's favorite books/books he has recommended because I've got nothing better to do. First of all the song is an absolute banger, but to speak on the novel itself I find the concept of "The Stranger" to be very intriguing. Yet despite that I found myself growing bored and even mildly annoyed from time to time. That's not to say I think this book is bad-it just didn't click with me. I love the idea of "The Stranger" but am indifferent to the actual content of the book if that makes sense. Maybe if I were to reread this in the future I would have a different opinion but who knows.

Me gustó pero voy a esperar al vivo de esta noche para terminar de formar mi opinión.
La primera mitad me enganchó y entretuvo más, la segunda me puso demasiado nerviosa.
