This book, for me, was not particularly memorable, though if quizzed on it I obviously remember what it was about and what happened. I may need to reread this one, along with other Camus stories, and take notes or something, so I'll remember that I already read this book and won't keep adding it to my TBR stacks by mistake. ( )

I felt surprisingly indifferent at the end of this book after seeing what polarized reviews everyone had given it. The writing style is concise, the story is involving, and the characters were generally well developed (although some were allegorically flat) for such a short novel. And then it's over. But I guess that's the point. ( )

Oh boy. I can't think of a book I hated more. If you want to be confused about life, read this book. If you want to attempt to understand human consciousness, read this book, but you won't get anywhere closer than you were before. ( )
