This one is tough to rate with stars–if you have any interest at all in Camus, it's probably a 5-star book, just because of the insight it gives into the guy. As a book about the friendship of two amazing minds, it's two-stars. As a book with amazing insights into the French resistance during WWII, it's 5-stars. As a book about the history of science, it's 3-stars.
Overall, though, the first two-thirds of the book, mostly taking place before and during WWII, is great. After that it is more thin, with some still interesting anecdotes. I would have liked a book more about the friendship of the two men.
