A review by etherealisnt
Katk by Albert Camus

challenging dark emotional hopeful sad tense

4.0

Read it for school. I loved doctor Rieux and Tarrou the most. Their dynamic was already good, but it could've been something amazing, if explored more!! (I was kind of shipping them, but a bromance will do.) For some reason they reminded me of Hamlet and Horatio, I can't pinpoint the reason, but the thought was pretty consistent in my mind after finishing the book. I liked the other characters too, but I just loved those two. I feel like they had a connection. ☚ī¸
It was heartbreaking to see Tarrou die 💔 Rieux basically witnessed everyone dying around him - it made me cry in the end.


I feel like I haven't read something like this in a long while, so I'm thankful to our literature teacher for having us read it. I was a bit skeptical of the story at first, but soon I was into it and ready for more :D
