Not the best Saramago I read, but I really enjoyed it. When I heard about the book the idea sound amazing. The book wasn’t what I expected, but it was good in a different way and, as always, well written.

I can’t decide if this is worth consuming or not. I generally like Saramago’s work, but this one just didn’t pull me in. I ended up skimming through most of the middle. I didn’t get interested again until the last few chapters.
