The Greatest Book Written in Our Time

Although it's an extremely difficult book to get through, the concepts which it enforces are immaculate. True, you read a page and then have to think for a little while, but if you can grasp it, than you will appreciate fragments of the greatest mind of the millenium. These are really basic things we take for granted, things, which are necessary and will help any person willing to struggle with his existence, and the existence of the world.

Readers Beware

This is a book for the mentally stable. Nausea embraces and defines existential beliefs, and in light of this, is an overly cynical book. To truly understand Roquetin, one must embrace his mindset and existentialism, even if it is only temporary. This can lead to a depressed state and dispair and dissatisfaction with their environment. One must view the world through the descriptiveness Sartre is so famous for. If you can survive an existential outlook long enough to finish this book, you will be delighted with the end of the novel, were hope is reinstated into Roquentins world. Although a single definition for existentialism is impossible, this book will offer a indepth analysis of how existentialist belief applies to what we percieve to be reality. On the whole, an excellent book.

Stunning

Nausea is one of the most powerful literary experiences one can find. The form of the novel enables us to enter into Sartre's brilliant (and warped)mind. There is a sort of inexplicable energy that keeps on pushing you to read further and further- it is impossible to put this book down. The work can be appreciated as a novel for the quality of the story, but can also be understood as a powerful argument for Sartre's existentialist philosophy. He takes the reader through different alternatives to realizing that one's knowledge of one's existence makes one sick or creates nausea. Common escapes such as glorifying the past, the hope of relentless self-improvement,placing faith in love, are all explored and dramatically proven by Sartre to be false delusions to the truth that human existence is sickening.

Really Sick

Sartre is a world famous existentialist of the times, and I think this wonderful novel really brings precision to the word "absurd". Objects are not what they seem... and physical sickness is due to his realisation of the absurdity of existence. What do you thinK??? READ THE BOOK.
