Blindness by José Saramago

2.0

Tough read. The writing style is very one-note so it's hard to stay with it. The removal of punctuation is hard going though it's certainly easier in places. It made the boom much more of a chore than it needed to be as it was just relentlessly passive and it really took away from the feeling for the characters.
I being set in the hospital for part of it wasn't particularly well done and felt like a stupid horror film.

Clearly a great premise and some huge ideas in there about humanity and what we become when we lose so much of what we've built our lives around.
