Search - The Plague (Vintage International)

Very dry and not for the faint of heart. Good snapshot of what life was really like during the bubonic plague. Glad I read it. Won't read it again.

I've been reading fiction for over forty years and this is the first book I could not finish. I have trudged through some painful books in my time, but this one just killed me. The premise was interesting, but the writing style, overly-proper grammar, never-ending descriptions of minute details and the feeling of having to force myself to read caused me to simply give up.

Unfortunatly for me, I read A Year Of Wonders a few years back and that author seems to have ripped off monsieur camus so much so that i felt almost as if i already read this novel. he of course is a wonderful author so i give him all due credit to this novel.

This is an amazing deep philisophical book that questions the meaning of many things.
This edition is a nice translation from French.
