A review by itshaldun
Death with Interruptions by José Saramago

mysterious reflective slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

This felt like two very different stories smashed together. The first half contains a very interesting scenario where in one specific country deaths ceases to happen, and the ensuring chaos and responses from the government and the like. The second half of the book is a romance story which isn’t even that bad, but the tonal whiplash is astounding.

My only other criticism is that the author rambles about some insignificant things quite a lot.
