I found this book to be strangely deep yet easy to read. It makes a reader ponder over social construct and moral identity through a story that seems simple enough but isn't quite. I could see myself as the narrator and empathise with him, yet concurrently, I could also uncover certain inhibitions that I hadn't questioned before.

This book made me want to read more of Camus' works and explore the concepts of Nihilism and Existentialism.
