A review by jennajean
Blindness by José Saramago

4.0

I have to admit - it took me quite a while to decide how I felt about this book. But in the end, once I got used to the writing style and philosophical rants, and once I was willing to let what I was reading simmer in my brain, I really appreciated the way it made me think. It is definitely more than just a story, and you'll only get out of it what you invest into reading it. (It could be read either as a sort of pompously told, horrifying apocalyptic tale, or a clever allegory about the dangers of cultural blindness.)
