from Harvest Books
Price: $9.00
Customer Review:
the first half of the book was astounding, it gave a clear picture of what the world and we would be like without our sense of sight. it becomes very clear however that the author has no way of ending the book without resorting to some lame and emotional conclusion, thus making the second half of... more info

| | 2. |  | The Double
from Harvest Books
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
If you hate paragraph breaks this book's for you! Hardly any paragraphs and no quotation marks makes us think more deeply about who is talking ie identity. Part philosophy/part thriller, I enjoyed reading this book and loved the ending, but felt left behind a bit in the middle, and my life wasn't... more info

from Harcourt
Customer Review:
I guess I was looking for a sequel to Blindness and this book is defintely not a sequel to Blindness. Book could have been good, but after reading first 40 - 50 pages, I could not bring myself to devoting more time to finish this book.

| | 5. |  | All the Names
from Harvest Books
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
Saragamo does not use quotation marks. In the dialogues between two persons, he indicates a switch between speakers by a comma, followed by a word that begins with a capital letter. This is a problem in English when the word is "I", because "I" is always capitalized. As a result, it is sometimes... more info

"The following day, no one died." Thus begins Jose Saramago's latest masterpiece, a quirky, whimsical, and utterly enthralling tale called DEATH WITH INTERRUPTIONS.

| | 8. |  | The Gospel According to Jesus Christ
from Harvest Books
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
I like Jose Saramago as a writer. I like religion as a topic. However, it took me a very long time to get into this book. The first half dragged on for WAY longer than I felt it could have and though the second half delivered everything I'd been hoping for all along, the fact that it took so long to... more info

| | 9. |  | The Stone Raft
from Harvest Books
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
Perfection may not be of this world, but in Saramago's "Stone Raft" it happens: without as much as a sigh, the Iberian peninsula separates itself neatly from the European continent and steers for mid-ocean on an uncompromisingly linear course. The geophysics of this separation remain unintelligble:... more info

| | 10. |  | Baltasar and Blimunda
from Harvest Books
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
This book is filled with absolutely enchanting prose with a very unique style. Saramago portrays an enduring love between the two main characters. There's plenty of magical realism, which keeps the book lively and fresh. The book as a whole, however, is a bit dull in places. Overall, a worthwhile... more info
