TLDR; I felt like I was educated against my will, but I’ve come out a better person for it.

From what I read, this book is also a metaphor for WWII, and some passages are all the more poignant when you keep this in mind. Very interesting and thought-provoking book that I would recommend, especially if you have the opportunity to read it in French since Camus' writing is exquisite.
A regrettable lack of female protagonists is notable, however.
