Review title: At times a disturbing read but ...
Product review: ... worth it !This story of a society breaking down due to an epidemic of blindness is one of the more interesting books I've read this year.Saramago takes us on a journey through a society where a highly contagious form of blindness (people suddenly see whiteness as opposed to darkness)transforms it completely to the point of rendering it unworkable. We see how these strangers (who remain nameless throughout the book), now isolated and blind, try to cope with their condition and each other.Apart from a few passages of violence, I found this story fascinating, and Saramago's writing style innovative. No wonder he won the Nobel prize for literature.Well worth it.
