Why many will say that Saramago is a great writer and this is a great book.
But for me it was a nuisance that I can not describe. I spent a lot of time to read it and every time I felt sick to think how many pages I still remained. (Note also 350 pg!).
I expected totally different, more ironic, biting, sarcastic. Instead I was wrong.
Much of the book is devoted to the period before birth of Jesus, as I expected it to be more like a remake of his adult life.
One interesting part was that the encounter between Jesus and God in the lake, the rest does not say anything new.
In addition, the fact that it is written without dialogue punctuated makes it even more challenging.
Well, I do not recommend 100%.
