  • This review is about the book: Novel

    Very nice story and nice writing style.
    Certainly, the use of only "." and "," as punctuation marks may make it difficult for some to read and may require some familiarization, but the work is full of significant meanings that are hidden in the statements of the protagonists. The ending of the novel is also amazing

    This review is about the book: Novel

    A story that could have been much better if it was condensed into 150 pages instead of 350. The author meanders constantly, and the unconventional use of punctuation becomes very tiresome for the reader. From about halfway through, I kept reading in hopes of a twist that would lead to an explosive ending, but it never happened. This book does not suit my tastes in any case.

A man suddenly loses his sight. The incidents of sudden blindness escalate, and the government decides to quarantine the blind.

With bureaucratic precision, José Saramago has calculated everything that could happen in a world that is losing its vision.

How long will traffic on the streets remain smooth? How long will food suffice for the hungry hordes? How much time does it take for the supply of electricity, gas, and water to collapse? What will happen to pets? The sexual barriers? How many blind people create a blindness?
