The Stone Raft by José Saramago
2.0
i have decided that besides the book Blindness...I think that i hate Jose Saramago.
I read this book on a cross country flight. I felt like I was stuck with no place to run...and so I was tortured to finish this novel.
Perhaps something is lost in the translation of these novels...like...maybe the interesting parts? But I find that the story drones on and on, and really never gives you anything to dig into.
I'm glad I read Blindness first, as I really enjoyed that book...but after reading this and The Double, I can positively state that I will never read another Saramago novel...for fear that I will bore myself to death.
