Review title: Saramago continues to disappoint me
Product review: For a nobel prize, Saramago continues to disappoint me. I had read "Seeing" and thought that the author's lack of creativity was particular to that book. Blindness is another flop. No depth in the characters. Very weak and unrealistic plot. For example, why would the only person that do not go blind chose to submit herself to sexual humilliation instead of leading, right from the beginning, the revolt against the thieves that control the food supply? You would think that sight would make her a powerful leader, but yet she takes action until after she and other women are raped by a group of blind men. How pathetic. A huge credibility gap there. I have wasted my time enduring two books of Saramago's mediocre writing. Do not waste your time.
