A review by bookmarc_nl
Blindness by José Saramago

3.0

Loved the actual story and some of the musings in it. The writing style made it a slog to get through though, a feat with such a theoretically engaging story. Additionally there were just too many odd musings by the author paired with my pet peeve, the “As one knows/does…” followed by statements I absolutely do not think. It just comes over as presumptious and pretentious, making for a grating experience.

I did however go to an audio focused play based on the book and it was amazing. As other reviewers already remarked, befitting the subject this book is best listened.
