This book was a good beginner's primer into Albert Camus, his works, and his beliefs. The illustrations were all very good, though there is just a bit of nudity depicted, so it may not be something you want to let your kids get ahold of. It did a good job of blending literary theory with historical events, and the graphic novel-ish style of the book would probably appeal to a demographic of readers not generally given to literary criticism. I only gave it 3 1/2 stars because, while it is an entertaining and edifying read, it really only hits the high spots with Camus' life and works and could have been even better if it had a little more detail. But then again, it's called "Introducing Camus," so maybe I expected a little too much. Take it for what you will. ( )
