acbishop 's review for:

The Plague by Albert Camus
4.0

I came into this book with the wrong expectations. I was expecting a horror (I mean, just look at the cover), and the first fourth of the book felt like it was shaping up to be, but a lot of the grotesque details stopped there and were replaced by a more factual, philosophical narrative. I still enjoyed it, but I do wish that the plague were treated as more of an antagonist and less of a simple occurrence.
