Better than the Stranger, not as good as his non-fiction. Coincidentally read it in a bar in Amsterdam for the first time.

Didn’t Like It

In my opinion it is too self-concentrated. Some parts are too ridiculous. And the idea of confession was constructed in boring and artificial way.

    This book makes you questions your motives for every "good" action you perform.

    An insane ex boyfriend convinced me to read this when I was in high school. Best thing I ever got out of that relationship.

    it skillfully showed that any human being can be a bad person while he pretends to be a good one. a judge who is always helping the poor will repent at the end for what had happened for him and tries accuse himself of what else he could have done. He starts living at the river side and confess to anybody he meets. this way he is trying to find calmness back.

    There's something about Camus. I might be his stunning use of language, his heartbreaking sincerity or his overwhelming use of nihilistic logic that - despite protest - hits home regardless of who you are.

    If you ever need to rethink the purpose of life, i suggest you read this. And my friends, i urge you to read this with an open mind and an honest heart. This is a work of art, in it's purest form.

    Disturbing. Existentialist. Requires in between breaks...
