I've been talking about this book for years now, telling everyone I know, meet, see on the street, to read it and read it now. I borrowed it from a friend about 10 years ago and was spellbound by the first paragraph and couldn't put it down. Truly amazing, one of the best books I've ever had the pleasure of reading.Alanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10856028537299124416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9196836536424916782.post-28022324924254083102008-05-05T09:04:00.000-07:002008-05-05T09:04:00.000-07:00The movie is directed by Fernando Meirelles, who d...The movie is directed by Fernando Meirelles, who did City of God and The Constant Gardener. If there is a director whose visual sensibility more closely resembles Saramago's literary one, I can't think of who it might be.<BR/><BR/>Many people have told me that they are put off by Saramago's style, with its run-on sentences and lack of paragraph breaks. But I find that after a few pages, I no longer even notice this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9196836536424916782.post-84807867935558031252008-05-04T12:59:00.000-07:002008-05-04T12:59:00.000-07:00And I hear there's a movie to come also.Honestly, ...And I hear there's a movie to come also.<BR/><BR/>Honestly, this is the best thing I've read in a long time, and I've been reading some pretty great stuff lately.
