Book Review - 'No Exit' by Jean-Paul Sartre

"Hell is other people!" - a line that sticks with you forever.

An ingenious version of hell, where you are stuck in the same room for all eternity with people you can't stand. Nothing to do, nothing to express your frustration and fear through. Except talking. Endless talking.

You can't hurt because you and everyone else have already been hurt in life. You can't kill because you and everyone else are already dead.

Is this the plan of the Devil?

'No Exit' - the ultimate claustrophobic story/play. Great characters, great suspense, great imagination.

Final Score: 5/5
