Was Camus overrated?

I just read The Stranger and it felt more unnerving more than anything else. I wouldn't say it was good, just slightly disturbing.

Did you read the english translation? I felt the same way too and I believe it might be in part due to that.

The style of the good English translation captures the laconic unreflective style of the French. I certainly don't think it's an amazing book but considering that 4/5ths of the people on lit can't seem to even begin to analyse it correctly I'm airways suspicious when people on here say it isn't very good.
