The Stranger by Albert Camus
3.0
Even though it wasn't bad I can't shake the feeling that I should feel more about this book, but it was good.
I didn't really get it at first and I was ready to write it off as nihilist nothing but the ending wrapped it up and I get it's not about how nothing matters but about how our present lives matter. I liked that, it really turned me around on how I felt about the MC and his relationships. I also get why this is one of the existentialist works (even if Camus didn't agree). The book could've used a better representation of women, though.
The narrator was really good, especially during the final chapter.
tl;dr: Good book with an interesting message.
