Review title: Not a necessary read
Product review: I first became aware of this book from a reading list suggesting books college bound young adults must read. I thought I would read Blindness before giving it to my daughter and I'm glad I did. I saved her the slow realization that this book is predictable and, despite the author's best attempts to shock, boring. I tried to convince myself that the writing style added a certain weight and importance to the story and character development, but I soon gave in to my instincts that Saramago's faux stream of consciousnesses effort was a cover up for a cliched view of humanity. I don't even feel bad that I could not finish this book.
