A review by charlie_miller
Blindness by José Saramago

4.0

I found this a bit tiresome but out of regard for the concept- which ultimately is to expound to us that suddenly becoming blind would be somewhat tiresome- I'll give it a 4. That being said, half of the time I didn't actually find the constant psychological over-analysis that erudite; I often found it quite well, daft and specious. In the all important other half of the time however, there is a really gripping, cerebral read to be had.
One little extra point- I happen to be partially sighted. I think some of the chilling fascination that the concept of losing one's sight brings on in some people may have been lost on me.
