Helpful Score: 2
More of a social commentary with a bit political satire, not so much a thriller as it sounds. You are never told why the blindness occurs but the way this book is structured and written, you don't care. Oh, and the author's writing style takes a while to get used to (no punctuation). I do think this was a brilliant book, but it takes your full attention to understand.
For those who like to compare movies to book, there was a movie released that was pretty true to the book. This may sound odd but I prefered the book for the most part (the descriptions of people going blind and then the subsequent quarrantine and life inside jail) but really liked the movie ending since seeing the emotions on the actors faces was more "real" on screen.
