Wow. Really, wow!
I'm one of those people who are constantly reading books. But I quite literally devoured this book. To say that it was amazing feels insufficient. I just could not put this book down. I usually read at a more leisurely pace especially since I read multiple books simultaneously. But not once did I get bored with this. In fact, it's been quite some time since I've encountered a book that engrossed me the way Blindness did. I cannot believe it took me this long to pick up this book even though multiple people have recommended this.
The writing is superb not just with the story but with his style, the humor, the various ideas and references mentioned. And of course, the unique insight this story gives the reader. I've heard people say how this book was terrifying. I get what they mean. It would be a horror if the events in this book were to come true and the way it is described, it is quite believable so it is scary. Personally I didn't feel scared. But the feelings and thoughts the characters go through, it is an incredible exploration of the human psyche, the desire to survive and live and even human morality. This is definitely one of the most fascinating novels I've ever read.
