The Stranger has the strongest opening sentence of any book, ever. That alone makes it a masterpiece.
Albert Camus masterfully uses short, exact sentences to capture the distant, removed outlook of our main character, but still manages to paint one of the most vivid descriptions of a city life.
The last chapter where main character talks with a Priest is one of the most thought provoking passages I ever read.
I don’t want to write a whole essay here. It is an unconventional but thought provoking book, read it or I’ll eat your chips.
