IVE REREAD THIS NOVELLA 3 TIMES ALREADY. I FOUND IT AGAIN ON MY BOOKSHELF AND IM ABOUT TO REREAD. IDK HOW TO EXPLAIN IT BUT SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BOOK SCRATCHES A PART OF MY BRAIN SO WELL

Omg so relatable!! I also want to commit murder when I am overstimulated! Would have given it five stars if not for the way the women were talked about. Idk much about Camus and whether this aspect was an intentional character trait or a reflection of the author himself? Idk!

I struggled with how unrelatable and frankly boring the narrator was, but luckily the introspection of the second half saved the book for me

I felt great comfort in this book. Very readable and the character’s stoic complexities drew me to the stories end, blooming up until his demise. Will be re-reading.
