Hey there everyone! I finished reading Saramago’s ‘Blindness’ a while ago and… I have to admit that I had to push myself through to finish it, much to the bafflement of many people who consider it a ‘masterpiece’. When I wrote its review, I pointed out how the written style was blocky and nearly a headache to read due to the lack of proper punctuation, paragraphs and so on.
But now I’m sort of curious, what sort of book you thought was ‘overrated’ and why?
The Devil in the White City
In Cold Blood
I really hated Devil in the White City. I hated that it was promoted as a true crime book but it was actually 75% World’s Fair history and 25% murder. I wanted all murder!
Oh glad I’m not the only one! I had a vague knowledge about h.h. Holmes so I was looking forward to learning more. I got more out of reading his Wiki page than this book.
