A story of a nihilist who believes life has no meaning. The book centers less around what Meursault doesn’t feel and more on the way he feels and perceives.laurennbrackbill's review against another edition

The first half of the book I was painfully bored and I actually started this book once and decided I had to give it a try once more.
So once I powered through part 1, part 2 was a lot more interesting! I don’t think I would have given this book a 3 without it.
I think that this author is talented but it was also hard to know because it’s translated so some certain aspects may have not hit the same in English.
Also, he’s talented to weave together everything that happened in part 1 that lead to the trial in part 2.

I would read it in French, I think some things got lost in the translation.

Nihilism and absurdist theory wrapped in a convenient fictional bow.
