It is a very well written book, which is no surprise for Saramago. In terms of my own personal objectives in reading (mainly pleasure and reflection), I would like to point out I found some specific sentences very interesting (such as when the ceiling is considered a character which is always watching the person who lives under it), but I also think that the second half of the book is too slow, with less interesting aspects than the first half.
