Query: If I can make it to the end I might feel smarter?!

I agree with the other 3 reviewers. I picked this book up at my local bookstore and thumbed through it quickly. Seeing pictures I naively assumed it was laid out more like a graphic novel, and thereby an "easy read". Not so. I was expecting clear definintions and a buildup of theories and ideas but instead was thrown headfirst into Nazi occupied France and bombarded with seemingly unrelated events and people who I guess are pioneers of this philosophy? As in my title, I think I should feel pretty smart if I can just make it to the end of this book and have a fraction of an understanding of what existentialism is. If not, I'll at least expand my vocabulary use. Unless you are a college graduate, you'll need a dictionary to to follow along with all the verbage, and maybe even wikipedia to lookup all the people referred to so you'll understand how they pertain to the story.
