This book literally exploded my mind.
Imagine, your going through your normal daily life when all of a sudden you're struck blind. Not a dark blindness either, but a white blindness. And soon enough, everyone around you starts turning blind. The government comes to you and puts you away in an asylum for the blind and those suspected of being blind. As blindness spreads faster across the word, hundreds of more people are shoved into isolation, with little food and nothing to sustain health in a dark and corrupt place, where the blind steal from the blind, kill the blind, and rape the blind. Hope is worn thin, and destruction and death are always surrounding the people kept in solitude, and for some it is a blessing that they cannot see it. Except, one woman, can see it. She can see everything. Unlike everyone else, she has not been struck by the blindness, yet fear for leaving her husband, she claims that she is blind and travels down the path of insanity and disorder as her, her husband, and five others live life in bright blindness and dark solitude.
This book was crazy. There was an abundance of points and ideas that it showed me things I could never imagine. It depicted the downfall of society and the selfishness of those who cared nothing about anyone else, and only thought for themselves. It showed how one woman who had never really amounted to anything could be the eyes of those who cannot see. It showed the irony of blindness and revealed the way that most people think about hardships in a new limelight. It had sides of evil, good, and the in between, and showed how helpless we are without our eyes, yet how we already live blind.
I admit, the grammar was very hard with no quotation or punctuation marks and long run-on sentences, and I basically had to read every sentience at least twice to understand what it was saying, but this truly gave the idea of being blind, in which I blindly stumbled around reading the book and understanding what it meant.
This book was so crazy good and all I have to say it- you need to read it for yourself.
It truly is an eye-opener
