Title: More like 4.6 stars
Review: Goddammit, I LIKE this translation! I wish people would stop putting it down. Although it has none of the poetic beauty of the other main translation, that is the WHOLE POINT! Read it in the French or have someone translate it for you (for the French- impaired, like me) and you will realize that part of the book's power is the stark, straight-to-the-point style of writing. Camus is a genius, and this translation is truest to his original words. Prepare to be shocked, entertained, amused...and ultimately to see yourself in this book. (Or worse, NOT to see yourself...) This is most definitely worth your money and your time.
