- H'ere’s my book review for ‘Blindness’- the fiction that we are kind of living. It’s honestly one of the best books I’ve read this year so I highly recommend you pick it up. Also, I talk about Mancur Olson’s research paper so maybe read that too?

Loved all the insights! Will check out the newspaper for sure :)
Loved your review and analysis of the book! Just finished reading it, so it was fun to hear you speak about it. So true, the protagonist HAD to be a women... Sending love from Canada
I'm so glad that you enjoyed! Thank you
I'll have to give this and similar videos a watch when I'm done reading it for my book club, because I'm 5-6 chapters in and I've never disliked a book more. Not sure if you're interested in reasons, and I've been told it lightens up a bit when you're past the halfway point, but so far it's just non-stop, unbroken oppression, misery, and hopelessness that you don't get a break from, incredibly predictable writing, blind people portrayed as utterly helpless, and cardboard-thin characters for the government officials and soldiers, who mostly feel like the villains in a fanfic written by a 12 year old. Oh, and I hear there's indepth descriptions of sexual assault. Good times.
It's not even the darkness of the book that bothers me -- I've read everything from a lot of Stephen King's works to The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah (an incredibly gritty book about a dysfunctional family in a village deep in the Alaskan wilderness), and Idas Dans, an incredibly sad Norwegian book about a teen girl dying of leukemia, so I'm no stranger to dark books. It's just... sorry, but I just actively dislike this book and I find myself having to force myself to listen to it. But sure, the author has won a Nobel prize so it has to have some redeeming qualities. Guess I'll keep trucking.
I decided to read it and found your review it! Thanks 💗
I hope you enjoy it~
Love Saramago! Please read more from him, you won't regret it
