No es que no me haya gustado, es un buen libro, pero hay que cogerlo con ganas. Un personaje apático que nos presenta un mundo absurdo, donde la justicia es aún más absurda. Lo transmite tan bien que estás deseando que acabe.

This book is straight-forward. A trip into the mind of a man, who acts and thinks like a stoic; his journey through life is simple, basically because he does what he wants and doesn't care for much. He's easily bored and seemingly steers away from what he's not attracted to. He doesn't even do a lot of "mandatory" stuff when he doesn't want to.
Even though I like the descriptions in the book as well as the plot, it's what's not there which interests me most; explanations to the man's behaviour are scarce, and this book is to me akin to Antonioni's "L'Avventura", where a clear plot is far from obvious, if even there.
All in all: short, concise and well-written. Highly interesting, mainly because it's so post-modern.

I honestly can't remember why I liked this when I read it in high school. So. Depressing. And the protagonist is not even a real person, with actual emotions and motives you could relate to. I mean. I know that's also the point, but still. This book just makes me angry.

Dark. Camus says it is about a man who dies for truth. Most people would probably find it a story about someone completely devoid of morals. I think it's both. The main character is every religious persons worst nightmare - an atheist who refuses to pretend meaning and emotion when he sees and feels none. I must admit, I identify a bit with that part.
