Que final devastador! Quase me leva a ponderar se precisava realmente de ler o irmão do Ensaio Sobre a Cegueira, não fosse ter sido mais uma leitura arrebatadora e poética de Saramago.

Quizás no explica de forma implícita la diferencia entre votar nulo y votar en blanco, pero por lo menos no promueve el “voto útil” entre partidos endógamos.
Empieza curioso, hay una parte que resulta aburrida y a partir más o menos de la página 200 se vuelve muy interesante. Me ha gustado.

Don't have much to say about this other than the fact that I liked it. It's political satire was pretty funny and the ending is extremely unexpected in a good way. That all being said, it lacks that certain je ne sais quoi that Blindeness had, and the last stretch of the book started to lose my attention a little bit (though the conclusion brought me back)
A lot slower of a read than Blindness, but just as good.
Provavelmente o livro de Saramago que mais facilmente e rapidamente consegui ler. Desde o desenvolvimento das personagens que já é expectável do autor, à narrativa simples mas crítica aos humanos em posições de poder.
I should have listened to myself and quit 100 pages in but because of how much I enjoyed Blindness I just kept plugging away. It starts with a great idea, then clearly he just doesn't know where to go with it and it just rambles on, getting worse and worse until an absolutely pathetic ending.
