    Camus’ writing style

    Oh how I love Camus’ writing style! Austere yet gentle, it’s minimal but always to the point, even when he’s describing seemingly irrelevant things. I read The Plague years ago and I remember how immersed I was in his words. I think it’s rare that a writer has such a unique way with words, where a protagonist’s thoughts read more like a diary that is fascinating and draws the reader in. It’s safe to say he is now one of my favourite writers.

    I love Camus’ writing style, and this novel did not disappoint. I dived into a perspective strange to me, and saw fragments of someone’s life who has a completely different stance to things than the usual protagonist. It’s a must-read for a reason.

    This is not my kinda thing so…yeah. Utterly predictable and tedious. I could see the ending from miles away.
