Book Review of Blindness

Blindness
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 1


Having all those people go blind reminds me of the beginning of The Day of the Triffids, though I read that one so long ago that I can't recall the details. It is an interesting idea, but I found this book annoying right from the start, with the author's decision to do away with the use of quotation marks, and worse than that, his careless and frequent shifting from the present or present perfect to the past tense. I'm not sure yet if I can bear to finish it.
