reviewed Seeing by José Saramago (Blindness, #2)

José Saramago: Seeing (Paperback, 2007, Vintage) 4 stars

Review of 'Seeing' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

I've slogged halfway through this book and I'm giving up. I can no longer take the lack of defined characters, endless run-on sentences/paragraphs, and repetition of actions and situations. Also, it seems like a technical nit, but the lack of quotation marks makes the dialogue almost impossible to read. The weird thing is that I really liked Blindness (which employs a lot of these literary choices), but Seeing completely failed me. I heartily recommend not reading this book.
