Yes I've read the other reviews and yes this is not a book for the light hearted. What it is though is one of the most profound pieces of work written. It makes you think. Absurd to say it, but the blindness in Saramago's novel is an allegory for not being able to see. What exactly it is we should see, what Saramago -- with all his years as a man and a writer and having lived through dictatorship and revolution -- fears we cannot see, is present in the writing, present abundantly, but it is not to be paraphrased.
