A review by jess_mango
The History of the Siege of Lisbon by José Saramago

3.0

This is somewhere around 3.5 stars. Saramago is one of my favorite authors but this isn't one of my favorite books by him. Once again, this novel features a lead character who is a bit of a fade-into-the-background, sad sack, everyman who finds himself in a unique situation. I just didn't find this book's unique situation quite as compelling as some of those in Saramago's other works.
