Implicit pill shaming. Lacks a clear structure. Inconsistent about 'willpower'. The Humans was a much more enjoyable book.

Review of 'Blindness' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
One can think of COVID-19 as a pandemic of the loss of the sense of smell, what if it was a another sense? Saramago wrote this story. Loved the writing and I couldn't put it down (finished it in two days). Nothing, from what we know about how people, the body or epidemics work, is realistic and it is of course quite cruel to blind people but still a damn good story.
