Blindness by José Saramago

challenging dark sad tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

The way it is written is very disorienting, which is very apt for the topic and makes it feel a lot like the early days of the COVID lockdowns. But that does make it quite the challenge to get through. Overall, I loved how the style fit the substance of the book, but this is more of a book I am glad I can say I have read rather than one I will revisit.
