lyrawilde 's review for:
The Plague
by Albert Camus
I didn't expect much from this book, because 1. I don't usually read classical literature or anything inside the "high culture", 2. I read the Stranger beforehand and it didn't impress me and 3. l had to read it because one of my course in uni. Maybe it was beacuse the whole Covid situation or maybe because I just genually prefer some action beside the existential crisis, but for me it was a pleasant reading. I don't say that it's my favourite book now, because obviously not, sometimes it was quite boring and the ending was not really satisfying, but all in all among the plenty "belles-lettres" which want to appear smart and new and etc The Plague was a thought-provoking reading without being too lecturing and I symphatised with the characters and was geniuelly curious about their fates.
