L'Etranger

Summary: my favorite book
Review: A wonderful story about a guy who doesn't play the game, with a not very predictable end. I fell in love with the book and with Mersault.

Summary: I hated it..
Review: I found this novel quite pointless. It is about a quite ordinary but heartless man named Monsieur Meursault whose mother dies. After the funeral he befriends a gangster named Raymond and as a result of getting mixed up with him, he ends up senselessly, somewhat by accident, and because of the blinding hot sun, killing another man. His trial, his stay in jail and the results of all this are narrated throughout. But I could not feel any sympathy for the man. Find something else to read; this one is pointless.

Summary: Great Story Line
Review: I read this book in High School, in my French AP class. Our class was so enthralled by it that we decided to act it out. The fact that Camus could see into the hypocrisy of his generation...a hypocrisy that still surrounds us...it touches. The symbolism that is in every page...every situation. If only Camus could see that this book has even inspired a very popular POP SONG...KILLING AN ARAB by THE CURE.

Summary: wonderful
Review: I'm not quite to the end of the book yet, but so far I love it. It's the only book I've been required to read for class that I actually enjoy reading.

Summary: Maman is mort.
Review: If only the rest of us could attain Camus' simplicity of words concerning the complexities of life much valuable time would be saved. Course we might also be left analysing our every thought to death.

Summary: Existentialism Doesn't Need A Name
Review: If you speak or read french, read it in french. Its much better that way. Otherwise, the book itself is amazing.

Summary: Is this the French Version?
Review: Just wanted to know if this was the french version of Camus' work. Parce que si c'est en francais, je voudrai vraiement l'acheter.
