5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Thoughts Leading Everywhere, October 30, 2006

Most of the kernels in Camus's notebooks could be the seeds for short stories or even novels. He was brilliant and far less sombre in these notes than in the great novels and essays. For those who think Camus merely a son of Kafka, these errant thoughts provide showers of sparks for the mind.

3.0 out of 5 stars through the looking glass, June 17, 2005

By 

A. Swain (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Notebooks 1935-1942 (Paperback)

This book is definately reserved for the true Camus lover. It's mostly just a collection of jumbled thoughts, not for anyone looking to be entertained. It gives great insight into his everyday life and if imagining how Camus lived is as fascinating to you as it is to me then you will love this book.
