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?
Wheel of Time - I read almost exclusively fantasy and sci-fi, and it’s so beloved that I should love it as well…I made it to about half thru book 4 and called it quits. Felt like such a slog & I didn’t find myself caring about any of the characters. I’ll probably give it another go in a couple years but man I was disappointed that I couldn’t get into the series that most of my friends consider the best series they’ve read.
