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?

    After the first few pages I was sure it was her debut novel and was shocked to see in the back hardcover flap that she had written many books previously. One of my friends recommend it to me like 6 months ago and I still haven’t mustered up the strength to tell her I hated it 😅
