I really liked the description of scenery and temperature. Hits harder when you’re in a similair environment as the book is. The Stranger focuses on freedom, who and why should judge, open and shut cases. Simple.

Rest in peace Meursault!!!

4.0

 During part 1, I wondered why people see this book as so important. Part 2 answered that question and really made me think. I was prepared to give this 3 stars or less but the second half as well as the perspectives from the translator and the scholars in notes at the end of the book really helped bring up my rating. This was definitely worth the listen for the ideas it presents.
