A review by nprtotebag
The Stranger by Albert Camus

4.0

First time revisiting this book since I first read it in high school. I enjoyed it then and I enjoyed it now. Rather than the nihilistic aspects that I think most would say the book is known for, what really gripped me was the commentary on the legal & prison systems in the last half. I also enjoy the experience of being in the mind of someone who thinks so differently from me. Meursault is not a good man, but, in the words of Camus: “The hero of my book is condemned because he does not play the game.”
