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 House in the Cerulean Sea. It wasn’t a BAD book by any stretch of the imagination, but considering how many folks raved about it to me, I was pretty underwhelmed. Based on reports from other readers, I was expecting something beautiful and moving, but ultimately it was just kind of… twee, I guess. Maybe I’m just a robot?
