wjh976 's review for:

A Happy Death by Albert Camus
5.0
dark emotional reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Should be read with "The Stranger" and "The Myth of Sisyphys," as it was a sort of prototype for "The Stranger."  I feel that it has a better narrative structure than "The Stranger" and in many ways represents its themes and conclusions in a better way.
