Review of "L' Etranger" on 'Goodreads'

1 star

This book was horribly boring.
It was a long winded story, with annoying and even harming thoughts.
I've seen others say that he's weird, and therefore cool and interesting. Perhaps even funny. Others said it was humorous, but frankly, I didn't even smile during the 2 hours I've wasted reading this garbage.
Not a smirk, not a smile. Not even a little twitch in the corner of my mouth. Nothing.

On my top 5 of 'Worst books I've ever read' this book will trail "Never Let me Go", which was equally boring. The only reason Never Let me Go was worse, is because it was thicker, and therefore took longer to read.

The main character, just annoys me for the full 120 pages of this shit show. The main character doesn't show any affection for Marie, he doesn't care when he sees a dog beaten up, shows no remorse for his crime, and straight up is just antisocial. Perhaps even autism; it wouldn't surprise me if he got diagnosed with it.

To conclude, I feel like I wasted 2 hours of my life reading this. 1/5
