“It was a relief and a horror to be known so perfectly”

obsession, longing, insanity, and aesthetics. All of the characteristics which I find so fascinating and interesting which makes me love it.

It’s alright, I think the thought process behind the two characters is something truly impressive, I love how flawed and real (although not as much) they are.

But I personally think it could have been more unpredictable and profound than what it truly is, I feel as though it needed more pages and more story—but it’s not.

I didn’t necessarily adore the ending particularly, I found it slightly sloppy and lazy. Although I truly am fascinated at the fact that makes you think about what truly happened, as it can be interpreted in so many different ways.

I liked it, I think the obsession is written extremely good, which is the think that I liked most. Yeah, it’s good, but not amazing.

I think this book is too complex, and too beautiful for just one read.

It’s filled with philosophical quotes and different meanings.

Truly amazing and incredibly written, but definitely need another read.

”I was assaulted by memories of a life that wasn’t mine anymore, but one in which I’d found the simplest and most lasting joys.”

I truly think Camus is a writer that you cannot fully grasp all of his words by reading them just one time.

I find his way of portraying death is something truly unique and different from so many authors.

It’s the most real take on it that I have ever read in my life.

So there I found it, my favorite way an author has written about death. Truly beautiful and opening.
