  • No way! I absolutely LOVED Blindness. And I really enjoyed the conclusion - to me it seemed like a rebirth of hope again, after an intense exploration of the human spirit: the potential for unspeakable violence and cruelty, with persisting kindness, respect and hope amongst those willing to not succumb to their instinct for self-preservation above all. Saying that though, I’ve never been more happy to finish a book. The writing style could be really arduous, every page demanded concentration from me. And the endless melancholy and despair was hard at times too. As much as I ploughed through and felt immense relief at the end, I also really enjoyed that exhausting journey. The lack of a satisfying conclusion just solidified the uncertain nature of human beings and their choices, and what the future could hold.
