Rated 5 starsSimple yet thought provoking
At a distance, it can be seen as topical and dry. The further you dive in, the more you see that it's quite the opposite. "Gentle indifference"... This book will set you free.

Rated 4 starsThe Stranger is worth getting to know
I’ve probably lent this book to more friends that were interested than any other one I own. There’s a very distinct writing style and plot in a book that could be finished in one afternoon which makes it easy to pick up. The first chapter is probably the most boring, but once you get past that the story really comes into its own. Definitely a title worth saying you have read it without being insufferable to finish.

Rated 5 starsA page turner!
Such a great read that envelops you into a man's nihilistic perspective of the world and how it impacts his day to day life.
