Honestly if this book wasn't such an easy read, I don't think I would have finished it. And if I didn't know the book was really about absurdism and existentialism- I would never have rated it past a 1 star. That's not to say it was bad though! I liked it, it was a quick read, hearing the events all unfold from the main character was so interesting. Page 121 in particular felt so powerful, it was the first time we got such a strong reaction from the main character.
