If you like warm, fuzzy literature, this story isnt for you. If you prefer to read fiction that agrees with what you already think, or helps you sleep at night, this story isnt for you. However, if you enjoy engaging, incredibly well-written, (and superbly translated), literature, you will enjoy this book. "Nausea", like "Woman in the Dunes" by Kobo Abe, is not an easy or comfortable story to plow through, but it is a fascinating and superb story. Also, dont pass this book if you are intimidated by all the high falutin philosophy talk; enjoy this book as the remarkable, if disturbing story, that it is. Excellent reading.
