Quiet a good book, explores the human side of the plague in quite a detailed and eerily familiar way. As someone who knows very little about Camus save for he lived through the Algerian war as a child, he got some pretty good ideas about humanity I’d say… innocence is maybe a strength…who knows but love which can be held should do so perchance

At first was confused by the point of the book while reading. There are some quotes I liked and I especially liked the chapter where Dr Rieux and Tarrou went swimming. At this point I had a greater sense of the philosophical message. I like the concept, but it was a bit slow and philosophically confusing at times.
