I really hated everything about this book. If this is being considered existential then I have lost hope. This is just all around bad. The summary is this simple: a psychopath who has no ability to feel emotions of any kind including love or remorse kills someone. There is nothing existential about it. I’m really starting to hate “classics!”

“And I felt something stirring up the whole room; for the first time I realized that I was guilty”

“ But after all, is he being accused of burying his mother or of killing a man?”

He got his point across well, but I didn’t like this book. I don’t like the idea that nothing matters in life, and many of the people the MC was friends with throughout the book and him himself did pretty terrible things without remorse, which honestly made me not care what they had to say or what happened to them.
