Hmm. A quick and engaging read, though I don’t think the “point” Camus was trying to make landed with me. I was interested in the storyline, though I don’t think I’ll be thinking much about this novel now that I’ve finished. 

Kind of reminded me of No Longer Human by Dasai, though I much preferred that novel to this one.

This book is perfectly written, the roller coaster of feelings you as a reader have towards the narrator is what makes this. I find the  philosophy is important as well, even if you don’t agree with it, it provides a deep dive into the minds of many and a powerful insight to all minds.
